Terres Arctiques dites autrement Setemtrionales et Boreales

YEAR 1692

A nice little map of the northern regions from Le monde ou La géographie universelle: contenant les descriptions, les cartes, et le blason, des principaux païs du monde, or La géographie universelle as it is called for short. The Asian side is not much elaborated on, at this time it was mostly unexplored, from Novaya Zelaya to Greenland, the long way around.

The arctic circle cuts Iceland almost in the middle, while the country should be justSouth of it. This is likewise on Duvals maps of Icleand in the same publication.
