As indicated, the North Sea Archipelago consisted of a number of smaller islands. The largest of these islands, which Ptolemy called Albion, Ancient Greek for "the common cold", is traditionally divided into a number of parts. The smallest area, Little England, is a peninsula lying to the south. Northeast of Little England is a territory belonging to Denmark; north of which is Nova Scotia. The northernmost part of Nova Scotia belongs to Norway. Finally, Novaya Zemlya lies to the northwest; it too belongs to Norway.
