Click to enlarge. Shows latitude 72.51 to 82.34 north, including the east side of Ellesmere Island and the northwestern coast of Greenland. Parts of the map are significantly settled by human Inuit ~ most notable is the settlement of Thule. Baffin Bay is an important whaling region, warmed through the summer by the North Water polynya.
The region would be reasonably accessible by my players; the land is nevertheless harsh, unpleasant and would require a strong ship, careful planning and considerable tenacity to adventure here. The most northern settlement in the world is located at the top of the map, near the 60th meridian.
Orange lines indicate 90°W (top left), 60°W (center) and 30°W (top right). Thus, the top left of the map is north of St. Louis, the center is north of Cape Breton, while the top right is north of the central Atlantic. Hexes are 20 miles in diameter. Numbers on the left and right indicate distance from the North Pole in hexes.
