I think this is fixed in the latest master.

``` import xarray as xr import numpy as np import cartopy.crs as ccrs

da = xr.tutorial.open_dataset('air_temperature')['air']

p = da.isel(time=[0, 1]).plot( transform=ccrs.PlateCarree(), col='time', subplot_kws={'projection': ccrs.Orthographic(-80, 35)} )

for ax in p.axes.flat: ax.coastlines() ax.gridlines() ```

p = da.isel(time=0).plot( transform=ccrs.PlateCarree(), subplot_kws={'projection': ccrs.Orthographic(-80, 35)} )

However if you try iterating over the axes, it will crash because p is quadmesh type not a facetgrid type so I was wondering whether it'd be good to have an keyword like force_facetgrid_type=True which uses the FacetGrid class to plot a single map so that the user can keep the same code for single axes and facet axes? ``` p = da.isel(time=0).plot( transform=ccrs.PlateCarree(), subplot_kws={'projection': ccrs.Orthographic(-80, 35)} )

for ax in p.axes.flat: ax.coastlines() ax.gridlines() ```
