I've looked a fair number of maps of Antarctica so when I point out how unique and interesting any one particular map is, you can be assured that my choice is based on some fair judgement. I'll study the following map more closely in coming weeks but I wanted to post it now for my readers. I noted that the easiest lines to follow are the winter and summer isotherm lines. Interestingly, in my view, those isotherm lines would be the ideal routes for an ship's expedition to take to prove 15K or 60K.

Hi, I'm Captain Rick of the Virtual Circumference Voyage of Antarctica. I intend to prove definitively if Earth is flat or a sphere by paying careful attention to how many miles we cover as we travel "around" Antarctica. Flat earth theory says it's 50-60,000 miles. Spherical Earth theory says it 14,000 miles. Join me and ask any questions that you think would help our mission.
