POHJOLA

In Finnish mythology, Pohjola or Pohja, was the country of the ice-giants in the Far North, realm of the evil queen Louhi. Later Finns identified it as the part of their country, and of Lapland, which lay in the Arctic Circle, but in earlier myth it was utterly remote, a frozen continent in the no-man's-land between Earth and stars.
