Description
The Voyager 1 World Map is a stunning push pin map. The vivid oceanography and terrain details make the map come to life. The map features traditional geographical references plus fascinating details of historical events and special monuments and locations around the world.
About the Map: This map is named after the first spacecraft to reach interstellar space.
In the map you can find the deepest point in the ocean, the tallest peaks on each continent, and follow the flows of the ocean currents. Explore the map to find over 100 special sites on the map (marked in blue/green) and learn about historical events around the world.
What's the difference between Voyager 1 & 2: The Voyager 1 has a softer look and displays the elevation and landscape colors under the snow covered areas that are shown in Voyager 2. Voyager 2 displays the snow and ice using the MODIS satellite in the month of February.
Construction: The map is constructed as a high quality push pin map. Choose either Photo Satin Paper or Canvas. Both surfaces are constructed as a push pin map. 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.
Our frames are Made in the USA and produced exclusively for our maps.
Geographical Data: Our Voyager World Maps are a view of the natural Earth (without clouds). It is created using a combination of satellites and developed entirely using numbers, measurements, and GIS software.
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. every where on Earth). This is most visible in the largest mountain regions around the world.
Coordinating USA Map: The Voyager 1 World Map Pairs with our Voyager USA Map. The two maps feature the same colors and will look great in the same room. You can find all of our USA Maps within the Maps drop down menu at the top of our website.
