Geomorphological analysis of Hyperborea on the Mercator map: Can we believe the data of great cartographer?
Abstract
The article considers the Hyperborea map in the interpretation of Mercator, 1569, and draws attention to the unrealistic geomorphological situation depicting 4 rivers flowing from one water body. This suggests that this map is a fiction of its originator or its predecessor, from which it was borrowed.
