Manuscript map of Deception Island, New South Shetland, Antarctica
Manuscript map, 183 x 120 mm (image), hand coloured, a nineteenth century copy of Kendall's map created in 1829. Deception Island, in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica, was first discovered by sealers in 1820. In 1829, the British Naval Expedition to the South Atlantic made a scientific survey of the island, and Lieutenant Kendall of the HMS Chanticleer made the first map, which is the first accurately surveyed map of any part of the Antarctic continent or islands. Deception Island remains an important base for scientific research. This manuscript copy of Kendall's map is an unusual nineteenth century map of Antarctica.
