The contemporary, 12-inch diameter National Geographic Metropolis Globe is created by National Geographic's own legendary cartographers using a special process that combines 17 separate layers of rich color printing with specially developed materials, resulting in virtually unbreakable and infinitely detailed spheres. The exclusive illumination feature gives you two globes in one, with precision and detail evident on every inch. With the light off, your globe shows a wealth of political data and place-names, all printed in the patented, easily readable National Geographic typeface. Turn the light on, and the physical world is suddenly revealed as meticulously hand-drawn mountains, valleys, vegetation zones, and ocean floors appear. This globe features a silver-toned semi meridian and handsomely displayed on this elegant metal base and stand, this is an heirloom piece designed to be enjoyed for years to come. It also features unique cord-concealing innovation (the cord runs through the base) and includes a signed and dated Certificate of Authenticity and an informative booklet.Compare AgainstNATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC METROPOLIS WORLD GLOBEHow does it stack up?
