What does 'ls -l /run/media/'?

I get:

ls -l /run/media/
totalt 0
drwxr-x---+ 4 root root 80 23 jan 13.42 anv

where 'anv' is my username and:

ls -l /run/media/anv/
totalt 6
drwx------. 1 anv anv 4096 22 jan 19.09 37B9EF5808A7A87B
drwx------. 3 anv anv 32768  1 jan  1970 disk
dr-x------. 4 anv anv  136  7 feb  2036 DVDVOLUME

where '37B9EF5808A7A87B' is my USB disk, 'disk' is my camera (or rather
the memory card) and 'DVDVOLUME' is DVD in my DVD player
