The "land of mist and snow," was the place that the sailors were hampered by ice and mist; this was the place that the albatross guided them away from before being shot by the mariner with his crossbow.

The angelic spirits come to resurrect (kind of) the Mariner's crew. The spirits want the Mariner to complete his penance for killing the albatross. They also want the Mariner to transfix others and tell his story. That too is part of his penance that will never end.
