Physical Map of Iceland
About the Map: Designed by a Geographer and GIS Scientist
Geographical Data: Our Iceland Wall Map was created using a combination of data including: satellite imagery, elevation, hydrology, and administration data. The map is developed entirely using precision measurements and GIS software.
Special Map Features:
Volcanoes: Active and Dormant
Major Glaciers and Ice Fields: Labeled
National Parks: Labeled
Major Points of Interests: Labeled
Major Airport: Labeled
Detailed Cities, Major Roads, Rivers, and Lakes (not all are labeled)
Beautiful Cartographic Effect around the coastlines (rippled water)
Detailed Oceanography around the island to visualize the interesting continental shelf and trench formations.
We use the USGS LandSat satellite to visualize the landscape on land and NOAA's bathymetry data to visualize the elevation and topography of the sea floor. The famous Space Shuttle Radiometric Topographic Mission, SRTM Data, is used to gather the elevation height for the land. With the data, we applied a hill shade to visualize the shading effects (at 3 p.m.).
Construction: The map is constructed as a high quality push pin map. Choose either Photo Satin Paper or Canvas. For additional comparisons, check out our video shown in the "Map Finish Options" section to the right on desktop or below on mobile.
The Satin Photo Paper Finish offers a modern and smooth surface for pinning. We mount the map on a high quality pin board using heavy machinery for a lasting bound.
For our Canvas Finish, we use premium cotton blend canvas, using archival inks, and finish the map with a protective coating that provides a satin sheen. We mount the map on a high quality pin board for a lasting bound.

What's Included
What's Included with a Canvas Wrap or Framed Map: 500 Map pins and pin case. Each push pin map is individually made to order with archival quality materials. The print is mounted to gatorfoam pinboard, which will not warp, bend, or crush like cork or foamcore. We prepare the map with premium hanging hardware so you can start pinning your adventures immediately. This exclusive hanging solution keeps the map stable on your wall, even while pinning where you've been. The map is nicely packaged and shipped in a large box, ready to give as a gift.
What's Included with a Rolled Poster Map: Pins are not included by default, be sure to add pins in the order options if you plan to create your own push pin map. Gem stickers work well when the map isn't mounted to pin board. Consider adding a poster hanging kit to your order if you're not sure how you'll display your poster.
Poster Prints: Each one of our maps is crafted individually, unlike mass-produced alternatives.
Our posters are available in various sizes, all tailored to fit standard frames, we include an additional margin in the print to prevent coverage by the frame's lip. If you intend to DIY a push pin map with one of our posters, be sure to let us know in the order notes in your cart to adjust the print margins to your specs. To maintain the map's impeccable condition, it is carefully rolled with a robust tube, eliminating any possibility of folds or creases during transportation.
