A world map devoted entirely to nature: terrain, rivers and lakes, vegetation, deserts and ice, and the ocean floor, with no borders to hide the landscapes. The companion to the Equal Earth political map, it shows continents and oceans at their true relative size, thanks to the projection the United Nations General Assembly encouraged on 4 September 2026. Designed by cartographer Tom Patterson, co-creator of the projection, it is printed to order in our Premium Edition collection, close to you: in Germany for Europe, in Canada for North America.
This edition is entirely in German: mountain ranges, rivers, deserts, seas and undersea features.
