Wall Map - Physical Features of South America - Premium Edition | Tom Patterson

From the peaks of the Andes to the vastness of Amazonia, from Lake Titicaca to the Falkland Islands: this portrait-format physical map of South America unfolds the continent's full natural diversity. It joins Tom Patterson's series of physical maps (Africa, North America, High Mountain Asia, Circumpolar North…) and was built from Natural Earth v6, then reviewed by several specialists.

It was created by Tom Patterson, a retired US National Park Service cartographer and co-creator of the Equal Earth projection, and we print it to order in our Premium Edition collection, close to you: in Germany for Europe, in Canada for North America.
