On ancient maps one can often find land masses that originate not in geographic fact but rather in myths and legends: fabled kingdoms like Thule or Atlantis, but also islands which were assumed to exist, but were never actually located. Some of these phantom islands were preserved for centuries on maps, and only vanished with the improved navigational techniques of modern times. These islands may not have existed in fact, but they were nonetheless present and meaningful as imaginary objects. This makes them interesting as an aesthetic inspiration as well.
