Extra large size (198 x 123cm / 6ft 6’’ x 4ft approx.), impressive & informative physical map of the world which very successfully combines physical relief with vegetation or terrain colouring & well displayed names of countries & their boundaries. Excellent relief shading presents the mountainous areas in almost 3-D effect. Peak symbols help to identify the highest mountain on each continent or in various countries. 18 different combinations of colouring & graphics show various types of vegetation & terrain: tundra & glaciers or ice caps; coniferous, mixed or rain forests; savannah, grassland or steppe; sand or rocky deserts, lava fields & salt lakes, arable l&, etc. Country names & their boundaries are clearly displayed, with town symbols indicating national &, where possible, state or provincial capitals. Within USA, Canada, Brazil & Australia state or provincial boundaries are also shown. On oceans, in addition to different shades of colouring, numerous depth figures are provided. Central Pacific, from Siberia/ Alaska to New Zeal&, is repeated on both sides of the map for better presentation of that region. Clocks indicate time difference from GMT (but without the maps showing the exact geographical area covered by each time zone). Projection is Van der Grinten. This map is also available encapsulated, plus in a smaller size (136 x 85cm / 4ft 5’’ x 2ft 10” approx.), on paper, encapsulated or with hanging strips
