The Nicobar Islands

The Nicobar Islands are an archipelagic island chain in the eastern Indian Ocean and one of the most isolated in the world. They are located in Southeast Asia, 150 km north of Aceh on Sumatra, and separated from Thailand to the east by the Andaman Sea. Located 1,300 km southeast of the Indian subcontinent, across the Bay of Bengal, they form part of the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India.

The School Room Map Project

Over a decade ago I bought a pre-WWII pull down school room map off of Ebay from a seller in Wisconsin.  The maps are mounted in a oak frame and there are six maps which can be pulled down and locked in place.  The six maps include The World, North America, South America, Europe, Africa and Asia.
