Thee Deep Roots of Exploration

Exploration is older than history itself. The first humans who crossed a mountain pass or followed a river to its source were explorers.

Te period from the 15th th th the 17th seties, often called thee Age of Discovery, represents an explosion of maritime exploration, primaryly contron by European powers.

Thee Craft andScience of Cartography

Cartography is far more than drawing lines on paper. It is the art of selecting, compressing, and symbolizing complex geographic information. Every map is a product of it time, reflecting the knowledge, biase, and technologies of it of creators. Understanding how maps work - and how they can mislead - is essential tam retiatiating their role in exploration.
