Tahiti is the largest island in French Polynesia, and the gateway to the islands of the South Pacific. A great gift for anyone who honeymooned or lived there.
This is Tahiti as a real 3D relief, printed from actual elevation data, so you can see and feel every ridge, valley and cliff. Its figure-of-eight shape joins the large round Tahiti Nui to the smaller Tahiti Iti at the Taravao isthmus, with Mont Orohena rising to 2,241 m (7,352 ft) in the middle of the big island. The piece is shaped so that the island is cut to its real coastline and sits on a thin flat sea plate. North is up when it hangs.
