Geographic Globes

globes: a political and a physical globe. With the light off, each
shows a wealth of highly accurate political information. With the light
on, each displays exquisite hand-drawn relief and beautifully-hued
physical features of earth. Each globe ball is expertly printed on a special stretchable material which can never wear off.
Additionally, your globe is shock resistant and virtually unbreakable. Each National Geographic globe features a time dial at the North Pole with allows you to determine time throughout the world.

Art, Craftmanship and Science.National Geographic has created the ultimate globe to offer a unique window to the world. We brought our award-winning team of cartographers together with highly accomplished glassblowers, skilled woodworkers, brass engravers and mother-of-pearl artisans to create the finest globe in the world in a numbered edition. The Everest Globe is both a valuable heirloom and a rare work of art.
With the light off, the globe shows a wealth of highly accurate political information, thousands of names of towns, mountains, ocean depths, warm and cold currents.
With the light on, the physical cartography displays exquisite hand-drawn relief and beautifully-hued physical features of the earth. The colours of the continents represent exactly the vegetation zones, deserts and steppes in soft yellow, the forests of the temperate zones in different greens and the rain forests in dark green.
