Resumen
LAZO, Rodrigo. Cartographic history of Bird Island. Tiempo y Espacio [online]. 2015, vol.25, n.64, pp.582-601. ISSN 1315-9496.
The purpose of the research seeks to clarify an issue that has been discussed in scientific circles since the mid-twentieth century: the decrease in size and possible subsidence of Aves Island. The work not only analyzes the various documents with cartographic data of the island, from the XVI to XX century, but also compares historical maps with current ones, using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology. The research concludes that there was a drastic change in size in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century, maintaining its shape and size to the present.
