Sept/Oct '19 Lite Challenge: Eldöarna (The Fire Islands)

[AtTheShoreline]

For this challenge I'm drawing a volcanic island chain. As the challenge is to map a volcano I'll try to keep that as the main focus although there will be other islands than the one with an active volcano. The style is inspired by a map of Iceland from 1590 (Link) which includes a volcano.

Thanks for the link to the Iceland map, it's interesting and the description is quite amusing.

Are you going to include all that wildlife in yours as well?

Which, by the way, must be extinct, cause I have never seen those animals in any modern documentary. I wonder why...

i too am curious about wildlife!

I don't read archaic Latin, but the caption for the volcano on the reference map doesn't really need a translation to speak for itself.

perpetuis damnata estib et ni uib. horrendo boatu lapides evomit

Amazing. Literally none of those are English words, per spellcheck, yet due to the evolution of language, I know exactly what that sentence is getting at.

I'll probably include something but not as much. They are certainly fascinating!

I noticed the same thing! It does get the point across!

Looking good! That Ortelius's map of Iceland is kind of classic, I'm curious to see if you include also that kind of map monsters in your map too!

[AtTheShoreline]

Some progress photos here. I really hope I have time to do some sea monsters but I have been really busy so we'll see.
