The ''Carta Marina'' has the merit of being the first fairly correct map of Scandinavia, and for a long time helped to shape the popular image of Scandinavia in the rest of Europe. The most salient feature of the map, however, is the gallery of blood-curdling [[SeaMonster sea-monsters]] that populate the map's North Atlantic. Descriptions and pictures of sea-monsters throughout the 16th and 17th century and beyond are frequently based on the ''Carta Marina''.

It draws heavily from Myth/NauticalFolklore and a little bit from Myth/NorseMythology.
