CANADIAN GEOGRAPHICS
From Canada we get these spectacular maps: Canadian Geographics (The Royal Canadian Geographical Society)
- Historical expeditions to locate the Nile Fountain, published in the March-April 2018 issue. Map: Chris Brackley / Can Geo.
It’s a stylish map. In addition to its compelling appearance, the map simply begs to be explored, as it outlines the various routes that explorers had taken to find the source of the river, reflecting on the topography and hydrography of the area, or even considering the cities and the nations it encompasses.
- The caribou of Canada, published in the January-February 2019. Map:Chris Brackley / Can Geo.
Together with the graph of the reach of each of the eleven caribou groupings in the country, it shows the highest estimated population and the current estimated population of each group. The general story is alarming, almost at a general level, the caribou populations in Canada represent a fraction of what they once were. Worse, this decline has occurred largely over the last 25 years. In essence, this is a map of impending extinction, unless we take steps to reverse this trend..
- The North Pole, published in the Canadian Geographic of March / April 2017. Chris Brackley / Canadian Geographic
As climate change has radically altered the polar regions of the world, Arctic sovereignty has become an important topic again. Prior to his death in October 2016 at the age of 93, legendary geologist, geophysicist, explorer and diplomat Fred Roots wrote an essay in Can Geo on the importance of the North Pole. Brackley mapped the region in great detail, showing the Arctic Nations Economic Zone boundaries, the four North Poles (geographical, magnetic, geomagnetic and inaccessible), sea ice change, and more to create a complete picture. of this world.
