Illuminated Raised Relief Desk Globe
“When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.”—John Muir
See the whole world right on your desktop with the Illuminated Blue Raised Relief Desk Globe. This detailed globe, measuring twelve inches in diameter, features more than 4,000 place names and political boundaries, a wonderful tool for learning about geography from lower school on. Plugged in, it also doubles as a night light, making it the perfect addition to your nursery, playroom, or classroom.
The sturdy and durable bronze color metal base features a metal Gyromatic mounting with numbered full-meridian. The meridian swings 360 degrees to bring any area into a closer and unobstructed view.
The up-to-date mapping is easy to read, eye-catching, and intricately designed with many colors contrasting with the serene blue of the waters. Run your fingers along the ridges to feel the mountains of far-away lands, a soothing way to appreciate the majesty of the natural world and spark an interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). This is a gift that is sure to inspire a love of geography in people of all ages.
