The souvenir sheet issued by Iceland in 2008 is the third and final
issue of the Joint Nordic series of Norse mythology. The map is an
ancient one of the Snæfellsness area of Iceland. In the upper right
corner there is a small index map. The light square on that map
indicates the location of the area mapped on the sheet. In addition to
the map there are several images of mythological figures: Barður
Snæfellsás, a giant who lived in the Cave of Echoes, Þora and Glæsir,
the bull.
