PIK LENIN

Markus Hauser, from Switzerland, published a noteworthy map of Pik Lenin on the border between Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. He used Russian army maps as a base to portray topographic features. The addition of three hypsometric tints resulted from a shaded relief drawn by Regula Spiess. The map was printed in 6 colors (CMYK, brown and gray) and measures 42.5 x 36.5 cm.
