Antarctica Maps International Wall Map HANGING STRIPS

Antarctica at 1:7,000,000 on a large wall map from Maps International, size 120 x 100cm (3ft 11” x 3ft 4” approx) – with hanging strips, showing topography, territorial claims, research stations, major exploration routes, etc. Coverage is within the latitude of 60°, extending beyond it to include South Georgia and the southern tip of South America. The map presents Antarctica with contour lines, relief shading and plenty of names of various topographic features: mountain ranges, peaks, etc. In the surrounding oceans the extent of the summer and winter ice sheet is shown. Boundaries of different territorial claims are clearly marked, as are locations of scientific bases, indicating those with aircraft or helicopter landing facilities. Also marked are the routes of the four most important expeditions in early 20th century: Scott’s 1902-1903 and 1911-1912, Shackleton’s 1908-1909 and Amundsen’s 1911-1912. Surrounding panels provide more information about various aspects of Antarctica. * This title is also available on paper or encapsulated.
