National Geographic Arctic Ocean Political Wall Map
Most wall maps shove the Arctic Ocean into the top margin, split across two hemispheres and half-labeled. This map does the opposite, centering the polar basin so the relationship between Greenland, the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, Svalbard, the Russian coast, and Alaska finally reads as one connected region.
Drawn at a scale of 1:7,996,000, the sheet carries international boundaries, cities, rivers, and lakes, with label placement kept clean enough to stay legible in a busy frame. Bright blues in the ocean and the shaded relief National Geographic has refined over decades give the surrounding landmasses real shape, making it well suited for a geography or environmental science classroom as well as a desk or office.
This map comes from the Atlas of the World, 11th Edition, now sold on its own through Map Shop. Available finishing options include:
- Premium 36lb paper
- Satin-gloss lamination that takes wet-erase markers and map pins
- Foam core mounting
- Framing in black or walnut molding
