Bjarmaland (Biarmia) as illustrated in the Carta marina (1539) by Olaus Magnus
Bjarmaland (also spelled Bjarmland and Bjarmia; Latin: Biarmia; Old English: Beormaland, Komi: Биармия, romanized: Biarmia, Old Permic: 𐍑𐍙𐍐𐍠𐍜𐍴)[1] was a territory mentioned in Norse sagas since the Viking Age and in geographical accounts until the 16th century. The term is usually seen to have referred to the southern shores of the White Sea and the basin of the Northern Dvina River (Vienanjoki in Finnish) as well as, presumably, some of the surrounding areas. Today, those territories comprise a part of the Arkhangelsk Oblast of Russia, as well as the Kola Peninsula.
