Sea Monsters on Maps: Myth, Mystery, and Marine Life

Geological Lecture Hall 24 Oxford Street, Cambridge

For centuries, sea monsters have adorned maps, serving as both warnings and wonders of the unknown ocean.

From krakens to serpents, cartographers illustrated creatures based on sailors’ tales, inspiring fear, and curiosity.
