World’s largest atlas


The world's largest ever atlas has been unveiled at the British Library in London.

The record-setting Earth Platinum atlas, one of only 31 copies in existence, measures 1.854m x 1.45m with a depth of 6cm and required six members of Librar
y staff to carry its 200kg weight through the doors.

Launched by Australian publishers Millennium House, theEarth Platinum, consists of 61 pages of maps, all of which are produced using satellite images and another photographic technique which overlays thousands of photographs into a single, seamless image.
