Part of the Carta Marina of 1539 by Olaus Magnus, depicting the location of magnetic north vaguely conceived as "INSVLA MAGNETV[M]" (Latin for "Island of Magnets") off the modern city Murmansk. The man character holding the rune staffs is the Norse hero Starkad. The rune staffs are inscribed "Starcaterus" (left) and "pugil Sueticus" (right) in runes. The inscription "STARCATERVS PVGIL SVETICVS" (Starcater Swedish fist fighter) is repeated in Latin characters.
