The International BEDMAP Consortium produced this topographic map of the bed beneath the Antarctic ice sheet, using all known ice-thickness measurements, at a scale of 1:10, 000, 000. The map contains information on how the ice-thickness model was generated; a key explaining the colour-coding & relevant thickness; a summary of ice-thickness data sources in the BEDMAP database; A 100km matrix reliability diagram indicating the reliability of the grounded ice sheet model. As well as this there is a detailed introduction to the map. When completely unfolded the map measures 82x 100cm Projection: Polar Stereographic Horizontal Datum: WGS84 Vertical Datum: OSU91A Geopotential Model ...

Bed topography wall map of Antarctica, size 87x 88cm (34.5”x 34.5” approx), presenting the continent as it would stand if stripped of its ice cover. Around the main map & on the reverse are numerous additional map panels & notes providing a fascinating insight on how the information used on this unusual map was gathered. Based by the British Antarctic Survey on Bedmap 2 – a large collaborative international project involving around 60 scientists from 35 institutions in 14 countries – the map was produced in 2013 from various types of data used to calculate the thickness of Antarctica’s ice cover. The result, in bright colouring for the bed height above the sea level & the depth below it, presents a much altered picture from the one offered by conventional maps of the Antarctic. The map has latitude & longitude lines at 15º & also shows the lines of the four cross-section panels which accompany it. Several more panels, photos & explanatory notes provide more information about the Bedmap 2 Project, plus full technical specifications including data sources & references. Full BAS reference for this title is ”BAS (Misc) 9”. This title is also available in a folded format.PLEASE NOTE: to see other BAS maps of wider general interest please click on the series link. A separate series on our website presents BAS titles which are of interest mainly to scientific experts or academic staff: larger scale topographic or geological/earth sciences maps of sections of the Antarctic & maps accompanied by detailed booklets/monographs. ...

Topographic coverage of mainland Spain at 1:50, 000 in the MTN50 (Mapa Topográfico Nacional) series from the Centro Nacional de Información Geografica, the country’s civilian survey organization. The maps have contours at 20m intervals, enhanced by relief shading, plus colouring and/or graphics to show different types of terrain, vegetation or land use. Boundaries of national parks & other protected areas are marked. In addition to all the usual information featured on topographic mapping at this scale, detailed presentation of the road & rail networks, rural tracks & paths, etc, the maps also show campsites & mountain refuges. On more recent editions some GRs, the official long-distance hiking routes, are also marked (although not as clearly as on hiking maps from other publishers). Each map covers 29.5x 18.5 km (with adjustments in the border or coastal areas). The maps have a 1-km UTM grid, plus margin ticks for latitude & longitude at 1` intervals. Map legend is in Spanish only.HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT 50K MAP: all the titles in CNIG’s 200K Provincial Road Maps series at 1:200, 000 are overprinted with the grid for the 1:50, 000 maps & can be used to see the area covered by each 50K title. TO SEE THE LIST OF TITLES IN THIS SERIES PLEASE CLICK ON THE SERIES LINK.PLEASE NOTE
- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.

In my dreams, I was always in some vast landscape on a long, straight road. Driving. Always driving.` Gwenda had always loved the open road, but her home town of Newcastle didn`t really offer the sort of adventure she longed for. So, in 1957, with friend & fellow nurse Pat in tow, she left the dismal British winter behind, & embarked on an amazing American adventure. After a year nursing in Clevel&, Gwenda, Pat & three new friends set off on a road trip around North America, driving in a rickety 1949 Ford. What follows is the charming true story of five remarkable young women. Over the course of eighteen months, the girls go to a 4th July rodeo, visit San Francisco & Las Vegas, learn to surf in Hawaii, spot movie stars in Hollywood & celebrate Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Wherever they go, the travelling nurses cause a sensation. This is a delightfully nostalgic memoir of friendship & the romance of the open road. ...
