Antique Plunket Point, Antarctica 1965 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Grosvenor Mountains, Dominion Range, Shackleton Ice Falls

Beautiful, antique map of the Plunket Point and the Grosvenor Mountains of Antarctica. This is an authentic 1965 print from the U.S. Geological Survey Reconnaissance Series and not a computer reprint.

See what Antarctica looked like almost 60 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then!

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.

Edition of 1965, printed 1965

Dimensions: 33" width x 26" height
