Mount Everest — National Geographic Wall Map (1988)

Where the Himalaya gathers its highest breath. Published in November 1988, this beautiful Mount Everest wall map renders the summit and its surrounding region with soft, coloured shading and meticulous detail. Issued alongside three Everest features—including “Roof of the World”—it blends artful relief with technical notes on how the map was made, delivering a sheet that commands a wall and rewards close study at arm’s length.

More Than a Map – A Testament to High Places

This isn’t just wall art—it’s a frame for understanding the Everest massif: sweeping ridgelines, glacier tongues, and the great valleys that funnel weather and people to the mountain’s base. The clear hierarchy of labels and refined shading make orientation effortless. Ideal for alpinists, trekkers, educators, designers, and collectors, it pairs beautifully with other National Geographic Himalayan titles for thematic displays.

Hang it in studios, libraries, classrooms, museums, offices, or at home to invite reflection, study, and conversation.
