The Arctic (1904)



Maps showing all the discoveries in the Arctic were produced in the 1850s. This 1904 map was published by the Government of Canada at a time when the government wanted to assert its sovereignty over the region. Captain Bernier led government expeditions into these areas between 1904 and 1911.
