Mapmaking from aerial photographs can yield superb results, but it involves a lot of sophisticated science. This beautiful map of Mount Everest and the surrounding region was published in November 1988 with three articles on the tallest mountain in the world, including "Roof of the World."
Featuring soft, colored shading and technical information about the making of the map, this product offers a superb aerial view of the region. In order to maintain the highest level of accuracy, place names were provided in consultation with Chinese and Nepalese mapping authorities. Even the title of the map - Mount Everest - is also offered in Nepalese - transliterated as Sagarmatha - and Chinese - transliterated as Qomolangma.
This unique map is a stunning conversation piece and a must-have for adventurers, mountain climbers and geologists. A perfect companion to the High Himalaya map, which was published in the same issue.
Printed on polypropylene, an ideal material for wall maps as the printing brings out rich colours, and crisp edges for readability. The material is stronger than most papers and unlikely to crease or rip. The matte finish eliminates glare, and adds texture to the map. Ideal for display.
Your map is rolled and packaged in a sturdy tube to protect it during shipment.
