The National Geographic Explorer 14-Inch Diam. Tabletop Globe will make a perfectly elegant addition to your home or office. Timeless and classic, it is really two globes in one: the political map becomes a physical map when illuminated. Each boasts a traditional blue ocean, and the political map showcases each nation in white with a broad, colorful border. This 14-inch diameter globe is perched atop a stately wooden base with a walnut finish. It stands 17 inches tall. Among its thoughtful features are a gold-toned semi-meridian and unique top dial that allows you to determine the time around the world with ease.


Part of National Geographic's 21st century collection, this globe combines artistic craftsmanship and accurate, up-to-date cartographic data. It comes to you guaranteed for life. Shock-resistant and practically unbreakable, the globe is expertly printed on a remarkable, stretchable material that will never wear off. It utilizes the same clear, easy-to-read typefaces for which National Geographic maps are known. Both beautiful and practical, the Explorer will make a welcome addition to any desk or tabletop. It comes with a certificate of authenticity and detailed instruction booklet.
