"After the end of the world, what will be left of the Earth wilcreate new geography. The world began to melt and vanish.Not there anymore. The world changed after its end. The surface was covered with a crust of plastic-like material, sometimes hard. Few people survived. The persons that survived this end began to register the new shape of its surface. New names for lakes, rivers, seas, islands, mountains, for planes. Only approaches to this new surface were possible, never knowing if they were accurate or wished maps. Slowly new cartography of the world began to appear, with maps and atlases, resulting from the collected information, memories of before and wishes that the surface becomes stable."
