This state-of-the-art, illuminated globe is actually two globes in one! With the light off, it shows the political world with a wealth of highly accurate information; with the light on, the physical world in colorful hand-drawn relief. Eighteen layers of cartography are printed on special material that won't wear off. Shock resistant and virtually unbreakable. Electrical cord runs through the base. Comes with a certificate of authenticity. The Explorer Globe has a gold-toned semimeridian and a walnut-finished wood base. It comes in two sizes.
