This double-sided topographic map provides an overview and comparison of both polar regions at the same scale and geographic extent. Smaller panels show the seasonal ice extent for both areas; climatic and biogeographic boundaries of the Arctic; and Antarctica's relationships with other southern continents.
Side A: Antarctica. A topographic map of Antarctica, including: coastline and ice shelves, bathymetry, ice/rock boundaries, contours, major mountain peaks and shaded terrain, and scientific research stations.
Side B: The Arctic. A topographic map of the Arctic, including: Coastline: bathymetry, contours, major mountain peaks and shaded terrain, major rivers and lakes, and glaciers and ice caps. It also shows major cities, transport networks, airports and national borders.
Boundaries 90° S – 60° S and 90° N – 60° N (all of Antarctica south of 60° S and the Arctic north of 60° N).
