Presented on a Mercator Projection, this chart covers the globe from the high arctic to the Antarctic Coast. The map is color coded to represent isothermal lines, with variances in shading representing 5 degrees of temperature difference. In addition, Wilkes also shows currents and winds. Wilkes intended this map to present a general overview of the accomplishments of the U.S. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WorldUsExEx-wilkes-1842>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WorldUsExEx-wilkes-1842 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WorldUsExEx-wilkes-1842 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/WorldUsExEx-wilkes-1842 500.00 USD Sun, 24 Mar 2013 01:07:29 +0000 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AntarcticContinent-wilkes-1840"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/AntarcticContinent-wilkes-1840-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> This important and extraordinary production is Commodore Wilkes's 1840 U.S. Exploring Expedition map of Antarctica. Of extraordinary importance to Antarctica collectors, the surveying of this coast and this resulting map are the first to definitively prove Antarctica's continental nature. Among the many great achievements of the U.S. Exploring Expedition, and Wilkes specifically, the surveying of the Antarctic coast now known as Wilkes Land, stands out as the most significant. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AntarcticContinent-wilkes-1840>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AntarcticContinent-wilkes-1840 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AntarcticContinent-wilkes-1840 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/AntarcticContinent-wilkes-1840 1000.00 USD Sun, 24 Mar 2013 01:01:10 +0000 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/NorthPolar-randmcnally-1895"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/NorthPolar-randmcnally-1895-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> This is a beautiful example of Rand McNally and Company's 1892 map of the North Pole, Arctic, or Northern Polar Regions.
