Elevation for mountain peaks is given in feet. Within USA, Canada & Australia internal administrative boundaries & names of states/provinces are shown. The two Polar Regions are presented as insets in the top corners, while at the bottom two colourful maps of the world show vegetation cover & landforms (physical geography). Clocks show time difference from GMT (but without the map indicating the exact geographical area covered by each time zone). The map also

Includes:: a list of 10 largest countries by area & by populations. Projection is Winkel Tripel, which reduces distortion of land masses as they near the poles. To see the paper version of this map & the smaller sizes please click on the series link.LAMINATED & ENCAPSULATED WALL MAPS:- LAMINATED wall maps have a thin layer of plastic usually applied to the printed side only. They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.- ENCAPSULATED wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid & heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof & do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.- PLEASE NOTE: many publishers & retailers often use these two terms interchangeably.
