Besides diving next to stunning ice floes, there is other interesting marine life such as kelp walls, sea snails, starfish and giant isopods. The dive team leaders aboard the Ortelius are experts in their field, and aim to offer 1 - 2 dives per day, depending on local ice and weather conditions.

Named for a pioneering Dutch cartographer and originally used as a research vessel by the Russian Academy of Science, the M/V Ortelius is the perfect expeditionary vessel for whale watching, penguin viewing, and other Antarctic excursions. Its plentiful deck space and comfortable cabins ensure that passengers have abundant opportunities to experience the wildlife of these harsh polar regions.

The Ortelius is capable of navigating in all type of sea ice, from solid one-year formations to loose multi-year packs, and comes with a highly experienced crew of stewardesses, guides, and doctors to help passengers get the most from their Antarctic voyage. Its voyages to the Ross Sea and Franz Josef Land pass through some of the remotest regions on Earth, while its expert naturalists open up a world of wonders for travelers as they go ashore.

Cabins

The Ortelius offers twin, triple, quadruple, and superior cabins, with a variety of bunk- or double-bed combinations. What's more, since all cabins have a minimum of two portholes facing outward, you'll have abundant opportunities to observe wildlife from the privacy of your room. All cabins also come with private showers and toilets.

Common Areas

The Ortelius's on-board amenities cause it to feel like a floating hotel. They include two on-board restaurants serving a variety of international cuisine, a full bar with portholes for observation, and a lecture room for educational talks by the ship's resident naturalists and guides. The deck areas are also maximized to allow all passengers to go topside during good weather conditions.

1570 Ortelius Map of Asia (first edition)

1/2 + 2/3 = In Fraction

AsiaeNovaDescriptio-ortelius-1570

2 2/3 As An Improper Fraction

AsiaeNovaDescriptio-ortelius-1570

Title

Asiae Nova Descriptio
1572 (undated) 15 x 20 in (38.1 x 50.8 cm)

Description

A scarce and stunning first edition example of Abraham Ortelius' important 1572 map of Asia. Covers from Europe and Africa eastward to include all of Asia, the East Indies, Japan, and parts of New Guinea and Australia. From west to east, this map offers numerous elements worthy of further study. The Caspian Sea, according to the convention of the time, is presented on an east-west rather than north-south axis. Arabia is projected in a distended form. Further east in western China, Cayamay lacus is depicted. This mythical body of water was postulated by Ortelius to be the source great rivers of Southeast Asia. Indeed, Ortelius crisscrosses East Asia with a vast network of waterways advocating his belief that a water route existed through China to the North Sea and hence, via the Northeast Passage, to Europe. Still further east Japan appears in a distorted top heavy projection that resembles a tadpole. To the south Luzon is absent from the Philippine Islands. In the extreme southeast portion of the map Australia appears as 'Terrae Incognitae Australis.' East of China, two sailing ships ply the waters of the Pacific. A large decorative title cartouche adorns the lower left hand quadrant.
Ortelius based this map on his own wall map of 1567. This map was issued as page 3 in the 1872-73 German language edition of Ortelius's Theatrum Orbis Terrarum and corresponds to Van den Broecke's Ort 6 classification, predating the more common Ort 7 map of Asia that appeared in 1574. Ortelius printed only 1675 copies of this edition of Asiae Nova Descriptio (Ort 6) as opposed to nearly 7000 of the 1574 (Ort 7) edition

Cartographer

Abraham Ortelius (1527 - 1598) was one of the most important figures in the history of cartography and is most famously credited with the compilation of the seminal 1570 atlas Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, generally considered to be the world's first modern atlas. Ortelius was born in Antwerp and began his cartographic career in 1547 as a typesetter for the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke. In this role Ortelius traveled extensively through Europe where he came into contact with Mercator, under whose influence, he marketed himself as a 'scientific geographer'. In this course of his long career he published numerous important maps as well as issued several updated editions of his cardinal work, the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. Late in his career Ortelius was appointed Royal Cartographer to King Phillip II of Spain. On his death in July fourth, 1598, Ortelius' body was buried in St Michael's Præmonstratensian Abbey , Antwerp, where his tombstone reads, Quietis cultor sine lite, uxore, prole.
