World Hemispheres Wall Map from the National Geographic, paper version
- size 109 x 63cm (43” x 25” approx), with very attractive presentation of current political information in an elegant antique colouring. Countries are in rich but muted colours & oceans in beige, the style first adopted by the NGS in their very successful Executive range of world & country wall maps. Names of countries, cities & geographical features are given in their English version. Please note that the current edition still shows Sudan as one country. On l&, relief shading shows the mountain ranges; peak heights are given in feet. Subtle but very effective graphics present the ocean floor, with names of ridges, plateaux, etc. The two hemispheres are accompanied by similar smaller circular maps of the northern & southern Polar Region. Latitude & longitude lines are drawn at 15° intervals. This map is also available encapsulated.
