World - Van Der Grinten
Projection
Physical Satellite Image, Giclee Archive Print
This
stunningly detailed satellite image map of the world is the most accurate
and up to date map of its kind. The world is
depicted in a Van Der Grinten Map Projection with
a 30 latitude/longitude grid. A multitude of various data sources are
combined to produce this maps unique detail of the planet. Land imagery is
based on data collected by NASA's MODIS
satellite instrumentation in August 2004. Polar
sea ice is based on a combination of MODIS data and observations made by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's AVHRR sensor (Advanced
Very High Resolution Radiometer). This map contains so much detail that it
can support a print size of 17ft x 24ft in full high resolution. Tens of
thousands of the earths physical features can be clearly identified in
astounding detail. Political borders are demarcated using red outlines.Each map is available in an archival museum quality
print. This special printing process is known as Giclee (zhee-CLAY) and is
commonly used to produce museum quality fine art prints. Large format
digital images are printed on premium 10 mil (0.25mm) glossy photo paper,
the result is a brilliant colorful image with a vivid life-like quality.
Pigment based
Epson UltraChrome K3 ink is used providing a lightfastness rating of up to
108 years, guaranteeing minimal noticeable fading over a very long period of
time. Giclee printing is superior to traditional lithography in a number of
ways: colors are brighter, lasts longer, and is a higher resolution.
