Russian Cartography

Who said life is not diverse? For the past couple of days I have been putting my Russian linguistic skills to good use and translating a map for Mt Elbrus in the Caucasus Mountains of Russia.  These maps give some good detail as well as some useful information.  Down the side on this one is a windchill index and on the back they give some handy first aid reminders, good thing is I didn't need to translate them a picture paints a 1000 words in any language, as well as other bits and pieces. If you're after maps for certain countries or any obscure ones themapshop is very useful online store.
