Hema; Laminated map 900 x 1230 mm This reproduction of a hand painted map is based on a combination of satellite imagery, elevation models and aerial photos.
Measures 686 x 838 mm. Scale: 1:6,750,000 It includes bathymetry data of the ocean floor compiled from GEBCO (General Bathymetric Charts of the Oceans) data sets. The bright blue colour represents shallower water or continental shelves making it easy to see that Australia sits on the Indo-Australian Plate. There is so much detail in this image that a great many natural features can be seen. For example the world heritage listed Great Barrier Reef and the world's largest monolith, Uluru (Ayers Rock), can easily be indentified.
Measures 91cm x 61cm Scale 1: 47 810 000 Imagery from three different satellite systems have been used to produce this poster image. The vast Pacific Ocean is featured with ocean depth detail. The dry desert regions of Africa and the Middle east contrast with the tropical areas of the Americas and Asia. National boundaries are subtly marked in gold without detracting from the overall picture. The Brilliant Earth (below) is the perfect companion to this image.
Measures 91cm x 61cm. Mother Earth as seen at night! This dramatic image reveals the full effect of humanity's influence on our planet - it is a best selling gem. Produced from night time satellite images and ice data it is an excellent contrast to the similarly formated The Living Earth above.
