    The idea was to create something of a blend of cartography, illustration and a bit of infographic, along the lines of some of the beautiful National Geographic Magazine supplements.
    you didn't go wrong there. Great work!

    Gorgeous map, mate. The attention to even the little details is spot-on, it balances the concept of "art" and "mapping" quite wonderfully.

    This is a beautiful map, and I am particularly blown away by how astoundingly well you drew the curvature of the Earth in it. The little tine bits of Central America creeping over the horizon look so cool, and they add so much to an already amazing finished work. I'd rep you twenty time if I could, but I guess I'll have to be satisfied with just sending the one!

    This is so good Filippo
    I absolutely love this piece.
    Once again, you've created a real treasure there.
    Good font choice, everything is readable, placement is good, color choices are good.
    Even the angles of all the inset illustrations are right.
    Gonna post this to FB today.

    Default Cape Horn, South America and Antarctica

    A fantastic piece of work. This is National Geographic quality stuff.

    Just a couple of very minor nitpicks: The local name for Cape Horn is Cabo de Hornos; Isla de Hornos refers to the landmass itself.

    Also, the area labbeled as Hielo Continental is called Campos de Hielo Sur (Southern Ice Fields).

    Otherwise, it's perfect!

    Thank you Klaus! I fixed the Hielo Continental label.
    I left Cape Horn though since it is linked to the brand name, although it would have been more accurate to use the local name.

    If you do another map like this I'd love to see the full process, I've learned a lot here at the guild from that type of posting. Thanks again.
