Hollow World Set Outer World Antarctic Cap
Just as the Outer World Arctic Cap map showed the norther polar opening, the Antarctic Cap map illustrated the southern gate into the Hollow World. (For an overview of these maps, see the post for the Arctic Cap.) This map gave a clear indication as to what lands were intended to fold into the opening, with just the southern tip of Davania and a few slivers of the Vulcanian Peninsula on the inner slope towards the Hollow World.
As with all of the Hollow World Set’s maps, this one suffered from the misconception of stretched continents and the lack of a massive Far End Ocean taking up an entire hemisphere. However, that didn’t take away from the usefulness of its detailing. Other than the stretching, there’s nothing wrong with the map.
