“Maps are more than just lines on paper, they are symbols of human curiosity, ingenuity, and perseverance.
They are like puzzles waiting to be solved, revealing hidden meanings and forgotten histories.
Exploration is written in their margins, in the notes, drawings, and annotations left by travelers and cartographers.”
— Daniel Crouch, Heather Wolfe, Joaquim Alves Gaspar
