Antarctica Essential Wall Map
Antarctica is the continent students understand least, mostly because it usually shows up as a white smear at the bottom of a world map. The Antarctica Essential wall map from Kappa Map Group treats it as a real place with mountains, seas, ice shelves, and a naming history written by the explorers who got there first. Pictorial landform illustrations and shaded relief give fourth through eighth graders something to actually read.
- Transantarctic Mountains and the location of the south magnetic pole
- Surrounding seas and the lands named for Antarctic explorers
- Antarctica’s polar deserts and wetlands identified
- Enriched legend keyed to landform types, part of Kappa’s Essential Series
- Latitude and longitude grid with major latitudes emphasized
- Waterbodies and rivers labeled
- Inset locator map placing Antarctica in relation to the other continents
The spring roller with backboard configuration mounts above a whiteboard and pulls down when the unit starts, which suits middle school geography rooms, home school teaching walls, and curriculum coordinators outfitting several classrooms at once. Available at Map Shop.
