🗺️ Side 1: Greenland – The World's Largest Island

Greenland, though mostly cloaked in ice, is an extraordinary destination at the edge of the known world. This detailed map focuses on the island’s habitable coastal areas, where visitors can access Inuit communities, fjords, and stunning glacial landscapes. Key features include:

• Detailed coastal settlements and airstrips for fly-in exploration

• Cruise routes and ice flow zones, ideal for planning Arctic voyages

• Topographic features such as glacial flows, mountain ranges, and icefields

• Inuit heritage areas and historic Norse settlement zones

• Inset showing Thule Air Base and surrounding Canadian Arctic areas

Much of the island lies above the Arctic Circle, and this map illustrates why Greenland is central to ongoing discussions about climate change, ice melt, and sea level rise.

❄️ Side 2: North Pole & Arctic Circle Map – A Unique Circular Projection

Turn the map over and discover a rare, survey-grade map of the entire North Polar Region, centred on the true North Pole. This extraordinary projection encompasses everything north of the 55th parallel, offering a holistic view of the far north. Coverage includes:

• Fascinating trivia, including:

  • Location of the Magnetic North Pole

  • Most northerly hot spring (Alaska)

  • Closest urban area to the North Pole: Alert, Nunavut (83°N)
