Spaced Out ::

It is with great pleasure that I am able to announce the award of the 2014 “Best Map” to Jerzy Zasadni (AGH University of Science and Technology) and Piotr Klapyta (Jagiellonian University) for their map reviewing the Tatra Mountains during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). This reconstructed the extent and surface geometry of all 55 glacier systems that were active during the LGM using existing published evidence as well as incorporating new fieldwork and analysis from remotely sensed data. The awards committee noted the elegant layout, good design and attractive inset maps. For these reasons it is a deserving winner of this year’s award and will be available through the Journal of Maps website as a limited print run.

Check out the great movies the authors have put together as well.
