Arctic Ocean Floor Map
The Arctic Ocean floor map pulls the sea ice away and shows what sits underneath: the ridges, deep basins, and broad continental shelves that ring the North Pole. National Geographic drew it in the Azimuthal Equidistant projection centered on the pole, so every point on the sheet sits at a proportionally correct distance from that center, which is the only honest way to render a circumpolar sea. Strong color contrast separates shallow shelf from abyssal depth at a glance.
This sheet comes out of National Geographic’s Atlas of the World, 11th Edition, and Map Shop offers it as a stand-alone wall map. It reads well in a geography or environmental science classroom, a marine research office, or a study wall where the polar region is the point.
