It's an interesting hole to dive down cause this depiction of the north pole is shown on all kinds of maps before the 1800s. Many ancient cultures show a Blackrock at the pole with 4 islands surrounding it. They also show islands that currently aren't on today's maps.
"The "Black Rock" refers to Rupes Nigra, a phantom island believed to be located at the North Pole, described by the cartographer Gerardus Mercator as a large magnetic rock that supposedly explained why compasses point north. This concept originated from a lost work titled "Inventio Fortunata" and appeared on maps during the 16th and 17th centuries"
Wonder how they're all coping at the thedonald or great awakening...lol winning!!
