This anonymous 17th-century map, titled “Kaart van de tocht van Jacob le Maire om Kaap Hoorn, 1616,” depicts the journey of Dutch explorer Jacob le Maire around Cape Horn, 1616. The map includes details of the coastline, including the "Mar del Zur", which is the name for the South Pacific Ocean in Dutch. The map is considered an important historical document for its depiction of the early exploration of the Southern Hemisphere, a region that remained largely unknown to Europeans at the time. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
