  Fraaie kaart van het continent waarbij zowel de natuurkundige als de politieke aspecten zichtbaar zijn. Alle bezettingsstations, berggebieden en landingsplaatsen staan er op. Dit is een geplastificeerde versie met metalen strips boven en onder de kaart waardoor deze eenvoudig is op te hangen.

   

  Maps International's collection of continental maps would not be complete without this political Antarctica map. 

   

  The Antarctica map includes information from the British Antarctic Survey on scientific research. Information on Antarctica's climate and resources is included and as you would expect with a political map, the territory divisions are shown. Shown also are the major expedition routes, camps and weather stations on Antarctica. Map features hill shading, also contains information on the flora and fauna of Antarctica.

   

  The map provides a great opportunity to learn more about a continent that many of us will never visit. Maps International's Antarctica map is available either plain or laminated making it ideal for classrooms or those with an interest in the South Pole and surrounding areas.

  About this Destination
  The storm-tossed Southern Ocean and the inhospitable landscape of Antarctica combine to form one of the last true wildernesses on earth. They are also home to vast numbers of animals, from the tiny shrimps of the zooplankton to the penguins, albatrosses, seals and great whales for which this extraordinary region is justly famed.
