Antarctica Intermediate Wall Map
No nation owns Antarctica, which is exactly what makes it awkward to teach with a standard political map. This map from BrightWay Educational meets that head on, labeling the overlapping national claims alongside the research stations that keep people on the ice year round. Built for grades 6–8 with teacher input, it gives middle school students something more substantial than a white blob at the bottom of the world map.
- Azimuthal equidistant projection centered on the continent, holding distortion low across the landmass
- Shaded relief showing the terrain and elevation structure of the continent
- Georeference and degree lines for teaching latitude, longitude, and the global grid
- National claims and research stations labeled for political geography and current-events discussion
- Physical features throughout: oceans, marine features, mountain ranges, islands, lakes, and rivers
- Large fonts and high-contrast color separation readable from the back row
Finishing options include paper, lamination, foam core mounting, black or walnut molding rails, and framing. Also available as a spring roller pull down. Home school parents, curriculum coordinators, and school purchasing offices can order through Map Shop with a purchase order.
