Blocks are carved in relief to represent the rugged coastline of Greenland with its fjords, islands, nunataks and glaciers, the shapes of the various islands being linked together with rods. In order to reduce the size of the blocks, the outline of the coast is carried up one side and down the other. Three-dimensional maps of coastlines were carved of wood as long as three hundred years ago. These Inuit charts were usually carved from driftwood and are made to be felt rather than looked at. The Inuit hold this map under their mittens and feel the contours with their fingers to discern patterns in the coastline. The land is very abstract. It is limited to “edges” that can be felt on a dark night in a kayak. Since they are made of wood they are impervious to the weather, and will float if they are dropped overboard accidentally. It will also last longer that one that is printed."http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://spacecollective.org/userdata/W3rK0uDX/1202738775/greenland_carved_wood_map_reversed.gif&imgrefurl=http://spacecollective.org/mslima/3220/Inuit-Wood-Maps&usg=__Oi0bJNdNxfMQJCE9nEJb_-QzL34=&h=304&w=152&sz=23&hl=en&start=31&um=1&tbnid=PasCN11IpwXE0M:&tbnh=116&tbnw=58&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dinuit%2Bmaps%26ndsp%3D18%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26start%3D18%26um%3D1<br /><br />couldn't find the name but here's an image and describtionStephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10089481524096822887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6151200353039734678.post-58401732782985550072009-06-22T02:30:55.981-07:002009-06-22T02:30:55.981-07:00can't remember what this is called but long ag...can't remember what this is called but long ago they used to cut the landscape into blocks of would. it was a visual map and you had to feel your way over this mini landscape!
