Created by the English School in the 19th century, this colour lithograph offers a glimpse into the early exploration and cartography of these remote lands.

The map was crafted by John George Bartholomew around 1897 for the Edinburgh Geographical Institute and published by John Bartholomew & Co. , adding historical significance to its allure. As we delve into this visual treasure trove, we are transported back in time to an era when intrepid explorers like Fridtjof Nansen set out on daring voyages aboard vessels such as Fram.
