Snorri introduces Vanaheimr thus: :Thus it is known that a great sea goes in at ''Nörvasund'' [ Straits Of Gibraltar ], and up to the land of Jerusalem. From the same sea a long sea-bight stretches towards the north-east, and is called the Black Sea, and divides the three parts of the earth; of which the eastern part is called Asia, and the western is called by some Europa, by some Enea. Northward of the Black Sea lies ''Svíþjóð'' the Great, or the Cold. On the south side of the mountains which lie outside of all inhabited lands runs a river through Svíþjóð, which is properly called by the name of Tanais [ Don River, Russia , but was formerly called ''Tanakvísl'', or ''Vanakvísl'', and which falls into the Black Sea. The country of the people on the Vanakvísl was called ''Vanaland'', or ''Vanaheimr''; and the river separates the three parts of the world, of which the eastermost part is called Asia, and the westermost Europe.
