День Абрахама Ортелия

The atlas, titled Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (Theatre of the World), was first published on this day in 1570 and is significant for a couple reasons.
Within these pages, we see the first evidence of someone imagining continental drift - the theory that continents were joined together before drifting apart to their present day positions.
Flipping through the pages, you may also notice a sea monster or two in the water - these mythical creatures were a subject of fascination in Ortelius’ generation, and often appeared alongside the ever changing landscapes of the atlas maps.
