Polar Voyage Log Map
This map is intended as a souvenir log map for visitors to Antarctica, starting off from Ushuaia. Approximately centred on Drakes Passage, it covers Tierra del Fuego at the southern end of South America, the Falkland Islands, the South Sandwich Islands, South Georgia, and the Antarctic Peninsula as far south as 70°. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 10° and 15° intervals respectively, subdivided with further margin ticks at 6’ intervals. This is not a navigational chart but is partially derived from hydrographic data and shows depth soundings over much of the expanse of ocean. Decorative symbols highlight whaling stations, shipwrecks, scientific stations and museums, and small photos depict ships associated with expeditions in the region.
