Abstract:
This double-sided topographic map provides an overview, and comparison, of both polar regions at the same
scale and with the same geographical extent (south of 60°S and north of 60°N) . Smaller panels show seasonal
sea-ice extent for both areas; Arctic climatic and bio-geographical boundaries, and Antarctica’s
relationship to the other southern continents.
Side A: Antarctica. A topographic map of Antarctica, including: Coastline and ice shelves, bathymetry,
ice/rock limits, contours, key mountain summits and hill-shaded terrain, and scientific research stations.
Side B: The Arctic. A topographic map of the Arctic, including: Coastline, bathymetry, contours, key mountain
summits and hill-shaded terrain, major rivers and lakes, and glaciers and ice caps. It also shows major
towns, transport networks, airports and national boundaries.
The folded map comes either with an Antarctic card cover (snowy mountains) or an Arctic cover (reindeer). Both
versions are identical inside and have the same ISBN.
Purpose:
This double-sided topographic map covers Antarctica on one side and the Arctic on the reverse, at the same
scale and with the same geographical extent.
