One of National Geographic's most visually stunning maps, the Hawai'i Map shows all eight of the major islands and includes an inset of the entire chain of reefs stretching nearly 3,000 miles across the central Pacific. In addition to showing all of the major land features, the map also shows the Hawaiian Ridge that runs under the islands, providing a wonderful perspective on how they were formed.

The map is encapsulated in heavy-duty 1.6 mil laminate which makes the paper much more durable and resistant to the swelling and shrinking caused by changes in humidity. Laminated maps can be framed without the need for glass, so the fames can be much lighter and less expensive.
