Terrestrial table globe. Geographical details on the sphere include various symbols with related text. For example, for the navigable canals, Antarctic stations and prevailing winds are shown. In the north polar region there are the notes 'Greenland resembles / an ice-filled bowl/rimmed by coastal ranges. In some places the ice is 11.000 feet thick'. There are several comments written in the south polar region about recent disclosures and discoveries. These are explained by the further text, 'along the Antarctic convergence northward-moving / Antarctic waters meet sub Antarctic waters / and sink below them with little or no mixing. / An abrupt change in sea temperature takes place, / and with it a change in sea and bird life'. There is a political note printed on the globe in red which reads, 'all nations with claims to Antarctic territory / have signed a treaty declaring the / continent an international preserve / for scientific research'. A total of five oceans are named. For full details about the cartography and construction of this globe please refer to the related publication.
