Description
English: The Pinax offers an explanation for the missing of the Drake passage and the Antarctic peninsula. The Fine Antarctic had to be from a polar projection. The only place for such a map was on the front side of the closed pinax. Once the west panel got detached from the rest it was no longer possible to find a fit for the Drake passage. Because South America was not on the inside of the panel. That favored a loss in transmission.
