National Geographic: Atlantic Ocean Floor 1968 - Historic Wall Map Series - 19 x 25 inches

$ 35.00

Since time immemorial, humanity has been drawn to the ocean. Captivated by its power and lured by the mysteries it holds - and the mysteries that lay just beyond it - we have found ways to explore it, to travel on it and to map it. And many have been laid to rest beneath its murky depths.

"This new map of the Atlantic charts an area of exploding promise and knowledge - and a continuing challenge to cartographers." This striking portrait of the Atlantic Ocean seafloor was published in October 1968 as a supplemental map of the Atlantic and displays the ocean floor with breathtaking detail.

Incredibly distinctive, this work of art details submarine terrain such as continental shelves, basins, fracture zones and the mighty Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Explore the depths of the lowest crevices and see how the land masses rise up above the waves.

This map is a painting based off of bathymetric surveys - studies that allow us to measure the depths and characteristics of the ocean - and is a true work of art. A wonderful companion to the ocean floor maps of the Indian (1967), Pacific (1969) and Arctic (1971) oceans.
