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.

I was disappointed with the map. I purchased it a few months after our trip to the Antarctic Peninsula and found that many of the places we visited were not shown on the map. This could possibly be explained by the fact that the map is in Spanish and we used English names.

Item arrived quickly and in new condidtion as stated. I just wished that the discription mentioned that that the map's language wasn't in English.

If you are one of the many tourists who visit the Antarctic Peninsula by cruise ship, then this is the map for you. An excellent reference to take with you and plot your voyage while travelling or once you get back before you forget the details of your exact route. Not a nautical chart, but an excellent map to explain to friends and family where you went and to use with your photo's to show where you visited on your trip to the Antarctic.

The chart is very extensive with much detail. If you are planning a trip out of Ushuaia, Argentina this will be handy to have.

Tha map is in Spanish, no big deal, ocean is oceano and passage is pasaje, no one should really get confused! Print is a bit too small perhaps, but then it's hard to fit this large area in a single map even at 1:5.000.000. Nice to have little boxes to stamp and sign by ship captain, travel companions and bases visited. A real Antarctic buff might even have this framed upon return, it looks like one of those old mavigation maps... but it is NOT a navigation maps as clearly stated at the bottom. The back is blank, pity, could have been used for more detailed local area maps.
