Interesting little twin hemisphere map showing a very large polar landmass in North America jutting out into the North Pacific and creating a wide NORTHWEST PASSAGE. The 'M. de l'Ouest' is connected to this passage, thereby creating an odd island of part of the coast. Australia is shown connected to both Tasmania and New Guinea.
