Physical World Map - Atlas of the World 798 x 610mm Wall Map

This world map of physical features can fit in any space and is featured in the National Geographic Atlas of the World, 11th Edition. Showcasing the Earth in stunning detail with state-of-the-art cartographic techniques delivering accuracy and exceptional quality, the innovative and engaging design makes the content easily accessible and user-friendly. Ideal for classrooms with an emphasis on teaching geography or environmental themes. Physical wall maps give your students a genuine feel for how our world appears.

The Physical World 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. Drawn in the Winkel Tripel projection, distortions of land masses around the poles are minimized: unlike many other World maps, Greenland is accurately shown as the same size as Argentina and not the size of all of South America.

Names of geographic features are carefully placed on the map to maintain legibility. Details include clearly defined features such as fracture zones, ocean ridges, mountains, deserts and plateaus. Corner inset maps feature the north and south polar regions.

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 on the wall. The hang rails come lacquered in a natural timber colour.
