Thule as Tile on the Carta Marina by Olaus Magnus. Thule (also Thula, Thyle, Thile, Thila, Tile, Tila, Tilla, Tyle, or Tylenâbeing ÎÎżÏλη in Greek) is in classic sources a place, usually an island. Ancient European descriptions and maps locate it either in the far north, often northern Britain or Scandinavia, or in the west and north, often Iceland or Greenland. Otherwise it is Saaremaa in the Baltic Sea.[citation needed] Ultima Thule in medieval geographies may also denote any distant place located beyond the "borders of the known world." Some people use Ultima Thule as the Latin name for Greenland when Thule is used for Iceland. Regarding pronunciation Joanna Kavenna[1] writes that the name has been pronounced most frequently as Thoolay rather than Thool. "Poets rhymed Thule with newly, truly and unruly, but never, it seemed, with drool." - 1 Ancient geography

| The Greek explorer Pytheas is the first to have written of Thule, doing so in his now lost work, On the Ocean, after his travels between 330 BC and 320 BC. He supposedly was sent out by the Greek city of Massalia to see where their trade-goods were coming from.[2] Descriptions of some of his discoveries have survived in the works of later, often skeptical, authors. For example Polybius in his Histories (c. 140 BC), Book XXXIV, cites Pytheas as one "who has led many people into error by saying that he traversed the whole of Britain on foot, giving the island a circumference of forty thousand stades, and telling us also about T..."
2) "Expressway" -- As to thule expressway ex·press·way
Pronunciation: ik-'spres-"wA
Function: noun
: a high-speed divided highway for through traffic with access partially or fully controlled Pronunciation Symbols
A typical expressway in Santa Clara County, California. California legally distinguishes expressways from freeways. Note the presence of traffic lights. An expressway is a divided highway for high-speed traffic with at least partial control of access. However, as explained below, the degree of access allowed varies between countries and even between parts of the same country. In some jurisdictions, expressways are divided arterial roads with limits on the frequency of driveways and intersecting cross-streets. In other jurisdictions, access to expressways is limited only to grade-separated interchanges, making them the full equivalent of freeways. The term âexpresswayâ is currently used in Australia, Canada, China, Japan, India, New Zealand and the United States (where the term originated).[citation needed] - 1 United States

| Riding a bicycle on the expressway is both legal and popular in California In the United States, an expressway is defined by the federal governmentâs Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices as a divided highway with partial control of access.[1] In contrast, a freeway is defined as a divided highway with full control of access.[2]. The difference between partial and full access control is that expressways may have a limited number of driveways and at-grade intersections (thus making them a form of high-speed arterial road), while access to freeways is allowed only at grade-separated interchanges. Expressways under this definition do not conform to Interstate highway standards (which ban practically all driveways and at-grade intersections) and are therefore usually numbered as state highways or U.S. highways. This distinction was apparently first dev..."
