Map of the North Atlantic Ocean published on the eve of the CHALLENGER Expedition in “The ocean, atmosphere, and life….” by the French geographer Elisee Reclus. This map shows some very large non-existent shoals to the east of Newfoundland as well a deep extending to the NE which seems imaginative. The profile is based on the work of Dayman and Berryman in 1856/1857.
