SIGNED 1972 Oceanography Map Antarctic Submarine Topography - Bruce C. Heezen

Description

This is a Rare Vintage 1972 Signed Oceanography Map of the Antarctic titled “Submarine & Subglacial Topography” by Bruce C. Heezen. Printed by the American Geographical Society, the 33” tall x 42” wide map shows bottom topography in contoured ocean depths of different colors. The map was “Plate 1 / Folio 16 Morphology / Antarctic Map Folio Series”. Heezen was responsible for the Submarine Topography, and Charles Bentley was responsible for the Subglacial Topography. There is a key to the ocean depth colors in one upper corner. Major ocean & land features are identified on the map, and the map was done to a 1:15,000,000 scale. The Map is autographed in pen, by Bruce C. Heezen, in one lower corner to my brother. Bruce Heezen was my boss way back then. The Map has some light wear here & there along its edges, some pin holes in its corners, and some light readers wear to the map here & there, but is overall in great condition. This is a One-of-a-Kind item for the Oceanography inclined, and a Piece of Science History! If you do not know of Bruce Heezen, he was important enough figure in the Oceanic world, for the US Navy to name a ship after him!! Look Him Up!!
