Geschiedenis
Ortelius was a Flemish cartographer and geographer, generally recognized as the creator of the first modern atlas. He was the first to imagine that the continents were joined together before drifting to their present position. The suggestion of the Florida Keys was uncommon for these period. A notable error is that the Tropic of Cancer is mislabelled as the Tropic of Capricorn.
