Gerardus Mercator published his Map of the Arctic in 1595, depicting the North Pole as a great magnetic rock surrounded by four islands — a remarkable blend of scientific inquiry and Renaissance imagination at the very edge of the known world.

Available in multiple sizes, it makes a fascinating gift for adults who love historical cartography and heirloom-quality wooden puzzles.
