In German: Das Nordlichste Land der Erde, Entdeckt 1616 bis 1861. Nach dem Originalquellen Gez. A. Petermann. The landmasses of these maps are tinted olive. Bylot and Baffin discovered Baffin Bay, Smith Sound, and Lancaster Sound, and reached a northward limit that held for 236 years. Ross discovered little new of value, and erroneously claimed to have discovered the Croker Mountains, but did open a new route for whaling vessels to Baffin Bay. Inglefield surveyed the west coast of Greenland, resighted and named Ellesmere Island, penetrated Smith Sound further than previously had happened, searched Jones Sound, and made landing at Beechey Island. Kane charted the coasts of Smith Sound and the Kane Basin, penetrating farther north than had had previously occurred, and discovered Kennedy Channel. Hayes led a confusing expedition that made errouneous claims, and it is difficult to tell if he made any real discoveries. From "Mittheilungen aus Justus Perthes' Geographischer Anstalt uber Wichtige Neue Erforschungen auf dem Gessammtgebiete der Geographie von Dr. A. Petermann, 1867." Roughly: "Communications from Justus Perthes? Geographical Institute Concerning Important New Studies in the Whole Field of Geography by Dr. Augustus Petermann, 1867." Condition notes: 17.4" wide X 8.5" high, in 3 panels (folded twice), modestly toned, mild page waviness. N° de ref. del artículo 038313
