Fascinating map of the region bounded by Hudson's Bay, Iceland, Greenland, and Baffin Bay, showing the Arctic Regions and detailing the prospects for a passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific via the legendary Northwest Passage.
A very unique map. The first time we have seen this map on the market.
