Old Map of The North Pole "Septentrionalium Terrarum descriptio" originally Published by Johannes Cloppenburg 1632
A striking reproduction from Cloppenburg's reduced size edition of Mercator's map of the North Polar regions, the first separate map of the North Polar Regions. Gerard Mercator was the first cartographer to create a polar projection of the earth. This map, the first separate map devoted to the Arctic regions, is drawn from an inset on Mercator's world map of 1569. The map is extended to 60 degrees, to incorporate the recent explorations in search of the North West and North East Passages by Frobisher and Davis
