This is a very unusual map centered on the Pacific Ocean. It includes an interesting landmass stretching across the North Pole from Greenland to above Alaska and enclosing the Mer Polaire. In the Antarctic region numerous iceberg are shown as Iles de Glaces. The map depicts the physical characteristics of the earth and is devoid of political detail.
