This is a c. 1957 Westermann Verlag pictorial wall map of Antarctica. Many species of penguins, whales, and seals populate the continent, and icebergs drift out to sea. Seabirds, including albatross and skuas, soar in the skies over the Antarctic ocean. Sailing ships spanning centuries of exploration ply the surrounding waters, including a vessel resembling those used by Sir Francis Drake or Jacob Le Maire rounding Cape Horn. International flags stake claims and chronicle Antarctic exploration, heralding the successes of Norway's Roald Amundsen, Britain's Robert Falcon Scott, and the U.S.'s Richard Byrd.
