Description

A 1912 map of the Atlantic Ocean by Max Groll. Although quite similar toGerhard Schott's map, it is totally devoid of feature names. The number ofincluded soundings, although providing evidence for the determination of contour lines, tends to obscure the overall pattern of seafloor features.
