by National Geographic Maps (Author)

4.5 13 ratings

As seen in the May 2003 issue of National Geographic, this double-sided map celebrates the 50th anniversary of Sir Edmund Hillary's ascent to the summit of Mt. Everest. Side one features a digital rendering of Mount Everest created from infrared images taken by the space shuttle combined with stereo photographs taken from a jet aircraft. The work of generations of surveyors--stretching back to the days of George Everest himself--undergirds like bedrock this most detailed digital model of Mount Everest. The reverse side shows a map of Sagarmatha National Park and surrounding areas. Inset maps and informative sidebars describe the Sherpas, special locations in the area, the growth in visitors to the region, and the routes taken by famous Everest expeditions.

The map is packaged in a two inch diameter tube with a label showing a thumbnail of the map with dimensions and other pertinent information.

Lovely maps but not the size listed

Gorgeous map and I love both sides. However, it's listed as 31.25 x 20.25 inches and the tube is marked the same. The map that I received is 47 x 30.5, I measured it twice. I'm certainly not complaining, just wanted to mention it.

Large, and perspective is surreal

Perfect in my opinion because it is large, takes a lot of room and lets you dream. Someone wrote that the scale is well done and that was true, this poster makes you feel the cold breeze of the Himalayas.

This is an awesome map. I got it when I saw Ueli Steck (RIP) had it above his desk. It shows you what Everest really looks like in more 3D than most other maps , and you can really see elevations as what are is higher than other areas that look just flat in most pic out there, even better than Google Earth.
