Old map of the Byrd Antarctic expedition - 1934

This illustrated map is the official chart of Admiral Richard E. Byrd's second Antarctic expedition in the early 1930s. This American map is centered on the South Pole and highlights the expedition's discoveries, including Little America Base and Marie Byrd Land. Large areas of the continent are still marked as Unexplored, reflecting the state of knowledge at the time. The map is richly decorated with vignettes (penguins, whales, ships), a large cartouche with Byrd's portrait, and several medallions. One details the expedition's complex radio transmission route to the United States. The map measures 61 cm by 46 cm.
