Description: Fascinating map of the polar regions, extending from the poles to 45 degrees latitude. The map includes a definitive Northwest Passage and a massive unknown southern continent, named for Magellan. One of the earliest maps to attempt a depiction of the polar regions in double hemisphere presentation, and including all the great myths and conjectures of the era about these two still largely unknown and undiscovered regions. A nice example in original outline color.
