Description: A map of the world from 1910, showing the Earth's latitudinal climate zones (North Frigid or Arctic, North Temperate, Torpid or Tropical, South Temperate, and Cold Southern Water), and corresponding isotherm zones, illustrating how latitude does not necessarily determine climate (Iceland is below the latitudinal arctic circle, but above the arctic isotherm).
