Which is bigger, Greenland or China? With the traditional Mercator map Greenland and China look to be the same size but in reality China is almost 4 times larger! In response to such discrepancies, Dr. Arno Peters created an equal area map, a new world map that dramatically improves the accuracy of how we see the Earth. Come in a variety of formats- This version is laminated; also available in paper folded; and felt paper rolled for framing. Size is 24” x 36” – perfect for stock size poster frames. This same map is also included in a bundled package of laminated maps: 39×50 inches, 11×17 inches, a Pacific-centered Peters map, the 24×36 inch map described here plus Peters postcards.
