On the road they met with horrid barren mountains and vallies, and with a great number of animals like roes , besides abundance of fowls, such as hasel-hens, and heath-cocks, which were as white as snow, and pheasants the size of a goose . In St Olave's church at Drontheim, they saw the skin of a white bear, which was fourteen feet and a half long; and they observed other birds, such as gerfalcons, goss-hawks , and several other kinds of hawks, to be much whiter than in other places, on account of the coldness of the country.
