Ortelius also published a map of Egypt in 1565, a plan of Brittenburg Castle on the coast of the Netherlands, and a map of Asia, prior to 1570. On May 20, 1570, Ortelius’ Theatrum Orbis Terrarum first appeared in an edition of 53 maps. By the time of his death in 1598, a total of 25 editions were published including editions in Latin, Italian. Published by Abraham Ortelius. Geography and Map Division. The following map is based on Jacob van Deventer’s map of Zeeland, a province located in the southwestern part of the Netherlands.The Greek god Triton is shown in the upper left corner riding a sea monster and holding the Zeeland coat of arms.

The ice-strengthened vessel Ortelius is an excellent vessel for Polar expedition cruises in the Arctic and Antarctica, providing us with possibilities to adventure remote locations such as the Ross Sea and Franz Josef Land.
Ortelius was built in Gdynia, Poland in 1989, was named “Marina Svetaeva”, and served as a special purpose vessel for the Russian Academy of Science. The vessel is re-flagged and renamed “Ortelius”. As Plancius, Ortelius was a Dutch / Flemish cartographer. Abraham Ortelius (1527 – 1598) published the first modern world atlas, the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum or Theatre of the World in 1570. At that time, the atlas was the most expensive book ever printed.
The vessel has the highest ice-class notation (UL1 equivalent to 1A) and is therefore very suitable to navigate in solid one-year sea ice and loose multi-year pack ice. Ortelius” is a great expedition vessel for 100 passengers with lots of open-deck spaces and a very large bridge which is accessible to the passengers. The vessel is manned by 34 highly experienced Russian nautical crew, 15 international catering staff, including stewardesses, 6 expedition staff (1 expedition leader and 5 guides/lecturers) and 1 doctor.
Ortelius offers a comfortable hotel standard, with two restaurants and a bar/lecture room. Our voyages are primarily developed to offer our passengers a quality exploratory wildlife program, trying to spend as much time ashore as possible. As the number of passengers is limited to approximately 100 on the Ortelius, flexibility assures maximum wildlife opportunities. Boots are available for loan.
Deck 4 was completely refurbished in May 2016.
Deck 5 was completely refurbished in May 2014.
Note:Beginning in the 2020-21 Season the maximum passenger count will be capped at 108.

Join Us
Join us on May 20th, 2021 for our first Microservice Visionaries gathering to celebrate the community committers of Ortelius, discuss microservice best practices, and drive awareness of the benefits and challenges of implementing a truly shared service oriented architecture.
And we want to know where you are in your microservice journey. Be part of the celebration by completing this quick 7 question poll.
Agenda: (all times in MT)
8:00 Beer and Donuts
This live Zoom event will kick off our Visionaries gathering. Join us for a lively discussion, meet the contributors and participate in our badging ceremony. All contributors who have earned an Ortelius badge will be recognized. There are 3 categories, Ambassador, Champions and Legends.

8:30 Implementing a Microservice Architecture using a Domain Driven Design
Presented by Aditi Agarwal and Hosted by Garima Bajpai
In this session we will define why a domain driven design (DDD) is important to building a shared service architecture. DDD is not new and has been a core methodology for defining ‘problem’ spaces to organize shared libraries. This session will give a basic definition of DDD and demonstrate how Ortelius helps facilitate this methodology through Domains.
9:15 Observability vs. Visibility - what is the difference?
Presented by Sacha Wharton and Hosted by Karamjot Singh
Observability - the process of tracing transactions between services on a single cluster - is an important aspect of microservices. But knowing how your microservices relate to one another across clusters in a logical view is another important data point. Visibility into microservices provides a proactive method for tracking the ‘logical’ application versions as their underlying components are updated. This presentation will show you how Ortelius creates the visibility across all clusters.
10:00 Pitfalls - Monolithic practice in a microservice architecture
Presented by Sergio Canales and Hosted by Saim Safdar
If you are getting started with microservices in a Kubernetes environment, be careful to avoid falling back on monolithic constructs in a microservice environment. Options on using namespaces to manage your architecture will be discussed in this presentation. We will also cover how Ortelius can help you from going back to monolithic habits.
Ortelius Software
10:45 Know Your Blast Radius
Presented by Munirat Sulaimon & Temitope Bimbo Babatola and Hosted by Atul Tiwari
So you feel like you’re flying blind sometimes? That is because you may not have the data to show you how a single microservice update will impact a specific cluster, and the applications. In this presentation, you will see how Ortelius manages your impact analysis and blast radius of all microservices.
11:30 Ortelius and GitOps (Panel) - the Road Ahead
Panelist: Steve Taylor, Christopher Hicks, Brad McCoy
Hosted by Tracy Ragan
Ortelius Ship
As Ortelius evolves, it will support a GitOps model. This panel discussion will cover design concepts for the Ortelius GitOps approach. This project will begin in the early fall.
12:15 - Closing statements from Steve Taylor.
