I can't decide whether I like this map better without a solid border around it. I have to imagine it would be the overwhelming expansiveness of ocean and empty sky that would define the place to the people exploring. The border almost does too good a job of collecting the view. Of course, my brain is also hinting that this would make a very cool tapestry for some reason, so my opinions may be...peculiar.

Very cool map! Like the subject and color!
