A Most Dangerous Voyage

A Most Dangerous Voyage A Most Dangerous Voyage: An Exhibition of Books and Maps Documenting Four Centuries of Exploration in Search of a Northwest Passage takes place at the University of Alberta’s Bruce Peel Special Collections Library until August. The official exhibition page is beyond spare, but John Horrigan posts some details on his blog: “Several polar maps from the William C. Wonders Map Collection augment the exhibition, including two polar projections by Moll and one by Bowen, A 10" Cary globe dated 1845 adds a bit of a nautical touch.” (Link added.) Via MapHist.
