About this listen

For centuries, maps included a large island near Greenland called Frisland—then it vanished. Was it a mistake, a myth, or a deliberate erasure? Join host Silas Gray as he journeys to the frigid North Atlantic to explore the Zeno Map, the cartographic consensus of the 16th century, and the geopolitical motives behind the disappearance of a continent-sized landmass. In this cinematic Cold Logic investigation, we challenge the official narrative and ask what secrets were so powerful they had to be erased from the map.
