Bargo Islands, George Souter and Weather Control Machines
Harry Hubbard discusses the Bargo Islands, mentioned by Pliny the Elder in 70 AD and later depicted by German mapmaker George Souter in 1736. Hubbard highlights a provocative detail on Souter's map regarding a "machine that controls the weather" located on one of the islands. He argues the specific details about sunlight hours in these maps suggest the cartographers had first-hand knowledge of the polar regions.
