A Strange Map of the North Pole - Day 5 ASMR Advent Calendar

The book is by Kevin J. Brown and called "A Journey Back in Time Through Maps"
(German translation: "Ansichten der Welt. Kartografische Reisen durch die Zeit")
The Christmas book is by Elisabeth Auersperg-Breunner and simply called "Weihnachtszeit".
