"The world's first atlas, the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum(Theatre of the World) was published in 1570 by Abraham Ortelius of Antwerp. In crude outline, the Theatrum laid out the world and its largely in-tact ecosystems for imminent colonization. Almost 450 years later, this 'Atlas for the End of the World' rakes over the remains."
