Summary |
This map, dating to 1531, shows a remarkable knowledge of the main geographical features of the Antarctic content and surrounding islands, casting some doubt as to whether Antarctica hadn't in fact already been "discovered" well before the 20th century when Antarctic exploration hit an all-time high in popularity, claiming the continent was largely undiscovered. |
