The Atlantic Ocean in Geographic das Atlantischen Ozeans, 1925, published byGerhard Schott on the eve of the famous German METEOR Expedition in 1925. Thereare few, if any, substantive changes between this map and Schott's 1912 map.Most of the large features of the ocean floor had been discovered by the early1900's. However, ocean scientists were on the edge of a new era of discovery.
