Notes

This map is a globe calotte (a cap that covers the join of gores on a globe), and includes the area from seventy degrees north to the pole. There is no land shown at the pole itself; rather, it is attractively criss-crossed with numerous rhumb lines. There are several sea creatures such as whales and narwhals and sea "monsters" depicted, as well as polar bears, sailing ships and large wooden Viking style rowboats.
