Folded. Zustand: new. Folded. This map is designed to appeal to passengers on cruises that visit Svalbard, but it should also be of interest to those who explore the archipelago in other ways. It includes an explanation of why most of the world calls it Spitsbergen, but Norwegians use the name Svalbard. Special features include illustrated biographies of explorers and other historic figures; notes on the history and unique political status of this land far to the north of the Arctic Circle; locations of Svalbard's national parks and nature reserves (representing more than 50 per cent of the land area); and colour photographs and text on the plants and animal life. Though twice the size of Belgium, 60 per cent of Svalbard is covered by snow and glaciers. Because this map primarily addresses the needs of visitors who explore the area on ships, the emphasis is on popular landing places and geographical features that can be seen from the sea or which are near the shore. With this focus, land-based travellers will find little or no information here about shore-side restaurants, hotels and other lodging places, or highways, railroads and airports. Covers the Arctic archipelago (named Spitsbergen when discovered by the Dutch in 1596, but now commonly referred to as Svalbard). This title features a map of the archipelago, with annotations. It includes biographical summaries of 27 explorers as well as descriptions and colour photographs of the common plants, invertebrates, birds and mammals.

Folded. Zustand: new. Folded. The young, volcanic, Galapagos Archipelago is made up of over 130 islands and islets, although only five are actually inhabited. A province of Ecuador, they are located on the Equator, about 1,000 km (about 600 miles) to the west of South American mainland. Aside from their natural beauty, and the opportunities for exploration by sea, the Galapagos Islands are intimately associated with scientific research. While this may have begun with Charles Darwin's brief visit in 1835, today the emphasis is on conservation research, and the islands and surrounding marine reserve form a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site.The Galapagos Islands Explorer is a fold-out visitor's map (scale 1 : 400 000), that measures approximately 100 69 cm (W H) when unfolded. It also has sections on human history, conservation, National Park Rules, the various island names (Ecuadorian and English), a timeline, and biographies of the significant people in Galapagos history. It will complement a trip to the islands, and help you make the most of your time there.Mapping has come a long way since the islands first appeared on Gerardus Mercator's map in 1569, and the Galapagos Islands Explorer is the perfect companion for a visit to the archipelago. As well as the map itself, the Explorer gives a general introduction to the geology, climate, and geography of the islands, plus background background information on the flora and fauna you can expect to see - from Galapagos cotton to the famous iguanas and giant tortoises. There is concise and practical information on each of the main islands as well as the most popular dive sites.
