Topographic survey of Sweden at 1:50, 000, the Terrängkartan, from the Lantmäteriet, covering most of the country in 244 double-sided maps. Please note: the mountainous regions of central & northern Sweden are not covered by this series but presented in a separate “ Fjällkartan
- Mountain Map” series also listed on our website. Each 1:50, 000 topographic survey map covers an area of 37.5 x 40km. The maps have contours at 5 metre intervals, plus relief shading & graphics for rocky outcrops & boulders. Further graphics and/or colouring show different types of land use or vegetation (forests, arable l&, orchards, marshes, peat bogs, etc). An unusual feature of this survey is the colouring indicating buildings below or above two storeys high & “leisure/holiday homes”. The maps indicate privately maintained roads & include all other information expected of topographic survey at this scale. The maps have a 1-km UTM grid, plus latitude & longitude lines 5’ intervals.

The Bradt guide to Svalbard (Spitsbergen), including Franz Josef Land & Jan Mayen, is a unique, standalone guidebook to this evocative Arctic archipelago, a place that is plunged into darkness for four months each year & where there are 4, 000 snow scooters for a population of just 2, 500. This new sixth edition has been thoroughly updated throughout & offers new material on everything from adventure tours to accommodation, environmental change to restaurants. Also covered are the restoration of Barentsburg & the opening of Svalbard`s historic mines to visitors. Newly updated & amended, this edition reflects important recent changes in the archipelago, making it the perfect guide to a quintessential bucket-list destination. Possibly the most remote destination in the developed world, Svalbard is as off the beaten track as you can get in Europe today. A destination where there are more polar bears than people, Svalbard is the planet`s most northerly settled land & the top (if not the end) of the world. It was on & around Svalbard that most of David Attenborough` Frozen Planet was filmed. A trip to Svalbard easily lends itself to notching up geographic superlatives (most northerly kebab, most northerly souvenir shop, etc) & adventurous travellers seek out experiences such as husky driving & hikes across the permafrost, charmed by the island law that requires everyone to carry a rifle anywhere outside of Longyearbyen, a constant reminder of Svalbard`s 3, 000-strong polar bear population. The main tourist period falls in Svalbard`s brief summer, from June to August, when it`s light around the clock & not very cold. However, increasingly popular for winter sports
- especially because the next few years will enjoy unusually high Northern Lights activity
- are the so-called `light winter` months (March-May), when there is both sunlight & snow. The winter season itself (November/ December-March) offers many possibilities for outdoor adventure
- & the polar night is an experience in itself. Despite winter temperatures that can drop to over 40 below zero, Svalbard`s glorious mountains, majestic fjords & sprawling valleys are the perfect setting for adventurous journeys out to the back of beyond, giving visitors a unique vantage point on a unique tourist destination. This br&-new edition of Svalbard provides all of the practical & background information you`ll need to explore this wild place, turning the hostile into the hospitable. Bradt`s Svalbard is written by Roger Norum, an expert in the region who writes regularly on northern Norway for the press & who teaches Norwegian language & translation at University College London. He is also a Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, where he carries out research on the links between tourism, travel writing & environmental change in the European Arctic.

The northern part of the Svalbard (Spitsbergen) group at 1:250, 000 in a new series of five topographic maps first published by the Norsk Polarinstitutt in late 2010, with extensive index of geographical features, glossary, rules for visitors, etc. The map covers the western part of Nordaustlandet & the north-eastern part of Spitsbergen. Maps in this series provide an excellent representation of the topography, with contours at 100m intervals enhanced by relief shading & numerous spot heights, plus colouring and/or graphics for glaciers, moraine, braided rivers & flat foreshore. Boundaries of nature conservation areas are clearly marked. The map shows roads & tracks or paths, as well as airfields & heliports, power lines & aerials cableways, lighthouses & masts, working & disused mines, etc. Within the settled areas schools, churches & medical facilities are also indicated. The maps have UTM plus latitude (15’) & longitude (30’) grids. Extensive index of geographical features gives locations by latitude/longitude coordinates. On the reverse of each title are two small maps of the whole group showing magnetic declination & nature conservation areas. Another map shows the area of Spitsbergen around the Isfjorden where visitors can travel without a permit. Each map also

Includes:: a glossary of geographical terms & notes on Svalbard’s cultural heritage. Map legend & all the text include English.
