Colored in an earth-tone palette, this new, illuminated 14" diameter National Geographic globe is really two globes in one. With the light off, you see country boundaries, cities, and more. With the light on, you see the physical world in hand-drawn relief.

The 18 layers that make up the map and its place-names are printed on special material that won't wear off. Each globe comes with a booklet and a signed Certificate of Authenticity. Globe has a burnished gold-tone semi-meridian, an elegant walnut-finished wood stand, and an electric cord through the base.

This particular globe is made by National Geographic. It is a combination of 2 globes: a political and a physical globe (known as Dual Mapping).

With the light off the globe shows a wealth of highly accurate political information, with the light on the globe displays exquisite hand-drawn relief and beautifully-hued physical features of the earth.

Each globe 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 which allows you to determine time throughout the world.
