How to plot negative coordinates (South Pole) using ggmap, ggplot?

Question

I’m trying to plot some points between South America and the Antarctic Peninsula, but from the error when I delimit the area I wish to appear on the map (xlim, ylim).

I had already plotted the map without problem, but now it is giving error.

library(rnaturalearth)
library(ggplot2)
world <- ne_countries(scale = "medium", returnclass = "sf")
class(world)
ggplot(data = world) +
  geom_sf() +
  coord_sf(xlim = c(-80, -48.12), ylim = c(-50, -68), expand = FALSE)

Error in st_normalize.sfc(x, c(x_range[1], y_range[1], x_range[2], y_range[2])) : 
  domain must have a positive range

What could be happening and how to solve the problem?

Answer 1

The problem lies in the coordinates of ylim. Reverse their order and it will all work out. Look at the Drake Strait down there, as it should be.

library(rnaturalearth)
library(ggplot2)
world <- ne_countries(scale = "medium", returnclass = "sf")
class(world)
ggplot(data = world) +
  geom_sf() +
  coord_sf(xlim = c(-80, -48.12), ylim = c(-68, -50), expand = FALSE)
