At North pole there is NO LAND so the white you see in your chart, Marduk, is frozen water/sea
Along with Thule, Hyperborea was one of several terrae incognitae to the Greeks and Romans, where Pliny and Herodotus, as well as Virgil and Cicero, reported that people lived to the age of one thousand and enjoyed lives of complete happiness. According to Herodotus (4.13) the Hyperboreans lived beyond the Arimaspians and were visited by Aristeas, who is said to have written a hexameter poem (now lost) dealing with them. Hesiod mentioned the Hyperboreans, Herodotus reported, "and Homer also in the Epigoni, if that be really a work of his". Also, the sun was supposed to rise and set only once a year in Hyperborea. Large quantities of gold were here, guarded by griffins.

And don't tell me that the ancient chart was wrong too!
because of continental drift, at the time of Laurasia and Pangaea (some 250 million years ago and longer), the land that would be near both the Arctic Circles and the Antarctic Circles were actually nearer to the equator instead of being at the top and the bottom of the world as they are today. In that same time period (Cretaceous), the Earth was also considerably warmer.
Any of a group of ovate arthropods (subphylum Trilobita) that came to dominate the seas c. 540 million years ago and became extinct c. 245 million years ago

This has happened long time ago, then the ancient chart and the reports of the Hyperboreans how came into be? Our recorded history is not so long, right?
And as everyone says, Pravda makes up things.
Mercator’s maps show a magnetic mountain at the North Pole surrounded by four gigantic isles. The magnetic mountain was a fantasy of Roman philosophers who sought an explanation for why magnetic compass needles pointed towards the north.

And the map of Mercador? Was that fixing of Pravda, too?
