Truly unique and exclusive to National Geographic, our
newest, contemporary-styled 12'' globe is unmatched in beauty and
accuracy. Created by our 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.
Our exclusive illumination feature gives you two
globes in one, with National Geographic 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.
Featuring a silver-toned semimeridian and handsomely
displayed on this elegant metal base and stand, this is an heirloom
piece designed to be enjoyed for years to come. The Metropolis also
features our unique cord-concealing innovation (the cord runs through
the base), and the lifetime guarantee assures its beauty will last for
years to come. Booklet on globe-making and certificate of authenticity
included.
