British Antarctic Survey, 2019. Greenland and the European Arctic, 1:4 000 000 scale map. BAS
Miscellaneous Series, Sheets 16A and 16B, Edition 1. Cambridge, British Antarctic Survey.
Abstract:
This double-sided map features a 1:4 000 000 scale map on the front, covering a region not previously covered
on one map sheet. The reverse contains a large information sheet with topical information about the Arctic,
produced by the UK Natural Environment Research Council Arctic Office.
Side A: The map covers the eastern Canadian Arctic, Greenland, Iceland, northern Scotland, Svalbard,
Scandinavia, Finland, and the western edge of the Russian Arctic, including Franz Josef Land. Features
including glaciers, bays, islands and lakes are named, and the extent of permanent ice is shown. The map
includes minimum and maximum sea ice extents for the region and also for the whole Arctic in a small inset
map. Major towns, places commonly visited by tour ships and scientific research stations are shown on the map.
Side B: The reverse side features a vibrant information panel covering many aspects of Arctic life. Topics
such as polar bear conservation, indigenous people and Arctic warming are covered, with contributions from
organisations including the UK Met Office and The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). A map of the Arctic
north of 60°N is featured in the centre.
The map and information sheet is an excellent resource for tour visitors, scientists and all with an interest
in the Arctic. It is printed on high-quality paper by map printers Dennis Maps as a large format,
double-sided sheet. It is available as both a flat sheet suitable for wall display and as a folded copy with
a robust card cover showing a striking photo from Lofoten, Norway.
Purpose:
This double-sided sheet features a map of the Greenland and the European Arctic region on the front, with a
vibrant information panel on the reverse covering a diverse range of topics around the Arctic.
