Southern Frontiers Conference

This Conference will explore how cartography has shaped exploration and knowledge of the Southern Hemisphere, from early speculative maps to modern technologies. Discussions will examine the challenges, innovations, and lasting impacts of mapping some of the world’s most remote and extreme regions across the hemisphere’s vast oceans.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Contributions of pioneering cartographers
• The role of mapping in driving exploration
• The transformative impact of modern tools such as GIS and satellite imagery
• The influence of vast oceans, remote islands, and dynamic ice landscapes on cartographic techniques
