Bauche Map of Antarctica
The first image shows what Antarctica would look like without ice. The second is the Bauche Map of Antarctica. Whilst no more accurate that other contemporary maps of that period, it is barely conceivable that the water channel between the two halves of Antarctica could be guessed at by a map maker who should not have even known the existence of the continent when the map was drawn in 1763 as its first recorded sighting was in 1820.
