One can easily identify the world’s major mountain ranges, glaciers, deserts, or rain forests. The colouring of the oceans shows various depths, with numerous trenches, ridges & fractures clearly visible. Polar Regions are included, shown as insets, whilst two smaller maps of the world provide information on the biosphere & surface temperature.*LAMINATED & ENCAPSULATED WALL MAPS:*- *laminated* wall maps have a thin layer of plastic usually applied to the printed side only.
