Circular coastline
The shoreline follows the base of the volcano in a smooth, nearly round curve, giving the island one of the cleanest outlines in the northern Pacific.

The island
Atlasov Island, at the northern end of the Kuril Islands, is essentially a single volcano, Alaid, rising straight out of the sea not far from the southern tip of Kamchatka. Its outline is almost round, and its slopes rise evenly from the shore to a summit crater. That makes it one of the most symmetrical volcanic islands on any map.
Alaid is the highest volcano in the Kurils, at roughly 2,300 metres, and has erupted several times in recorded history, notably in 1981. The island is named after Vladimir Atlasov, the Russian explorer associated with the conquest of Kamchatka. It has no permanent population, and its slopes carry no roads or towns.
An Atlasov Island map poster is a study of a single shape. With no towns or roads to draw, the coastline and the surrounding sea carry the whole image. In a tight frame the island becomes an almost geometric circle. In a wider one, the neighbouring islands of Paramushir and Shumshu begin to appear toward the edges.
The shoreline follows the base of the volcano in a smooth, nearly round curve, giving the island one of the cleanest outlines in the northern Pacific.
The volcano's peak sits close to the centre of the island. It is the highest point in the entire Kuril chain and the source of repeated recorded eruptions.
The island stands apart to the west of Paramushir, separated by open water. That distance gives it a solitary presence even within the long arc of the Kurils.

Why Atlasov Island
Volcano enthusiasts, geographers and anyone who responds to pure form will find this island compelling. Its outline is almost abstract, and on a wall it reads as much like a piece of graphic design as a map, which suits minimal interiors.
Set your own title and subtitle, perhaps the volcano's name or a date, and edit the coordinates line. Noir is especially striking here, and Classic black & white, Paper, Blueprint and Sand are also offered. The $9 download includes six print sizes as 300 DPI PNG and print-ready PDF files.
