This review is from: Ushuaia to Antarctica - Drake Passage Map: Polar Voyage Log Map (Map)

A nice souvenir for your trip to Antarctica, this map is nice purchased beforehand. during your trip you can have items notated and the adventure signed by your tour guides and Captain of your ship. For a small tour group like mine, you can also have everyone sign the back.
In this way it is a wonderful souvenir for framing.

I ordered this product and it was probably over priced for what it was; but I of course agreed to the price. I do not recall anything about this chart being printed in Spanish. I would have preferred a version in English and I do not think I received full disclosure. In any event be aware you may be getting a map written in Spanish.

This is not a chart to navigate by, but it provides information that most people never heard of. Schoolers think of Drake, for example, almost always in terms of the colonies and the UK. There's more to it. Great gift for the young historian.
