Caribbean NGS Classic Wall Map ENCAPSULATED

Caribbean NGS Classic Style Wall Map, size 91.5 x 61cm (36″ x 24″ approx), encapsulated version, published by the National Geographic Society in their traditional classic style: countries with a light-coloured base and their borders in different colours. On larger islands, Cuba or Hispaniola, topography is presented by light relief shading with names of mountain ranges. Where possible, the map shows the road network and locations of airports. Islands which are not fully independent indicate their mother country. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at intervals of 3ยฐ.* This map is also available on paper without the encapsulation.LAMINATED and ENCAPSULATED WALL MAPS- LAMINATED wall maps have a thin layer of plastic usually applied to the printed side only. They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.- ENCAPSULATED wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid and heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof and do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.- PLEASE NOTE: many publishers and retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles and descriptions follow the definitions provided above.
