It shows fragmentary coastlines, expedition tracks, and immense blank spaces, reflecting both the achievements of Scott, Ross, and Borchgrevink, and the vast unknowns that would soon be tackled by Shackleton, Amundsen, and Scott’s later expeditions. Produced by one of Europe’s premier map publishers, it was both a scientific record and a symbol of humanity’s unfinished quest to explore the last continent.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;\"\u003eThis map is a reproduction of a historical map that is now in the public domain. It has been selected for its aesthetic appeal and historical interest and carefully restored and reproduced to preserve its original detail and character. There may be marks and fold lines visible, which add to the authentic look. The map is printed on your choice of 230gsm heavyweight coated paper with a matte finish or 350gsm canvas. Most old maps were printed on uncoated rag or wood pulp papers, so a matte finish best represents the original map.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Africa Map Art","offers":[{"title":"Matte 230gsm coated paper \/ 62 x 51cm","offer_id":47534365868254,"sku":null,"price":590.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas 350gsm \/ 62 x 51cm","offer_id":49139148456158,"sku":null,"price":678.5,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/9403\/5678\/files\/south-polar-map-1906-perthes.jpg?v=1791387041","url":"https:\/\/www.africamapart.co.za\/products\/1906-south-polar-map-justus-perthes-print","provider":"Africa Map Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
