Amid increasingly combative rhetoric from Pyongyang, North Korea, do you know where its underground nuclear test site or missile launch centres are located? Are you aware that the South Korean government has begun a program to move its federal offices and personnel from Seoul to a new location? National Geographic's Korean Peninsula map provides this and much more information about this conflicted peninsula. National Geographic Maps' Korean Peninsula wall map is one of the most authoritative maps of the Koreas. The peninsula's rugged terrain is expertly depicted in shaded relief, including the elevation of prominent mountains and ocean depths in meters.
This edition clearly portrays both countries and uses the latest system for transcribing South Korean place names from the Korean alphabet. In great detail, it delineates the latest administrative divisions of both countries along with July 27, 1953, Military Demarcation Line - the historic demarcation line between the two Koreas. The map also portrays the transportation grid of both countries, including South Korea's high-speed passenger railway network. The signature Classic style map uses a bright, easy to read colour palette featuring blue oceans and stunning shaded relief that has been featured on National Geographic wall maps for over 75 years.
The map can come either printed on heavyweight 160 gsm paper or laminated. The paper version is perfect for framing under glass, and the laminated version is exceptionally hard-wearing as we use a true encapsulation of two pieces of 80-micron gloss laminate.
Alternatively, we can supply this map on 395 gsm HP Professional Matte Canvas using pigment-based inks - making the map highly durable and fade resistant. The exceptional clarity of printing makes this map a stunning addition to any room, and its high quality means that it will provide years of enjoyment.
The easiest way to hang your canvas map is by having wooden hang rollers attached top and bottom with a hanging cord on the top roller, so all you have to do is put a hook in the wall. The hang rails come lacquered in a natural timber colour.
Note: Please allow 10 working days to deliver hang railed maps as they need to be attached by our framer.
