South America Map | 2025 | Physical Map of South America

The “Physical Features of South America” from 2025 is an up-to-date map of the South American continent. With an area of approximately 17.8 million km², South America is the fourth-largest continent on Earth. It is connected to North America via the Isthmus of Panama and extends from tropical regions to subpolar areas in the south.

Geographically, the continent is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Its landscape is highly diverse: the Andes run along the west coast, forming the longest continental mountain range in the world. The Amazon Basin is home to the largest continuous tropical rainforest on Earth, and the Amazon is the world's largest river by discharge volume. The climate ranges from tropical in the north to arid desert regions like the Atacama, and down to subpolar climates in Tierra del Fuego.

The tropical rainforest is of central importance to the Earth. Millions of animal and plant species live in the Amazon region, many of which are endemic and have not yet been fully researched.

The map data is sourced from Natural Earth v.6.

The maps are printed using the giclée process on archival paper in two sizes: 100 × 75 cm and 152.4 × 114.3 cm (60 × 45 inches). The large version makes the map a striking centerpiece for your living room, study, office, or classroom.
