• n. 極北之地；古人相信存在于世界北端的國(guó)家

來自希臘語 Thyle,古希臘傳說中不列顛以北航行六天后所到達(dá)的陸地，受限于當(dāng)時(shí)的地理知 識(shí)和有限的古文獻(xiàn)資料，具體位置不詳，現(xiàn)學(xué)者估計(jì)為冰島或北歐一帶。引申詞義極北之地。

Thule

region or island at northernmost part of the world, Old English, from Latin, from Greek Thyle "land six days' sail north of Britain" (Strabo, quoting a lost portion of a work by Polybius, itself based on a lost account of a voyage to the north by 4c. B.C.E. geographer Pytheas). The identity of the place and the source of the name have sparked much speculation; Polybius doubted the whole thing, and since Roman times the name has been used in a transferred sense of "extreme limits of travel" (Ultima Thule).

The barbarians showed us where the sun set. For it happened in those places that the night was extremely short, lasting only two or three hours; and the sun sunk under the horizon, after a short interval reappeared at his rising." [Pytheas]

The name was given to a trading post in Greenland in 1910, site of a U.S. air base in World War II.
