For over 100 years, National Geographic as been
an important resource for world leaders, scientists,
explorers, academics and travelers. During World War
II more than a million National Geographic maps were
requisitioned for use by everyone from the U.S. president
to soldiers at the battlefront. Almost half a century
later, during the Gulf War, the Society donated 30,000
maps to U.S. military units throughout the Persian Gulf.
Now National Geographic has entered a new realm - that
of globe making. Designed with National Geographic's
trademark accuracy, quality and beauty, each globe displays
continents, countries, cities, bodies of water, bathymetric
ocean data, hand-drawn physical relief, and more. Among
the outstanding features of these globes are:
- The most geographic detail of any globe available
including bathymetric ocean data and hand-drawn physical
relief
- The same readable typefaces that distinguish all
National Geographic maps.
- 17 layers of cartographic precision printed on
special stretchable material make the globe virtually
unbreakable and the maps will never wear off.
- A time dial at the North Pole which allows you
to easily determine time throughout the world.
- Accompanying detailed instruction booklet and Certificate
of Authenticity.
All are available from The Savvy Traveller. |
Illuminated globes are actually two globes in one:
a political globe and a physical globe. With the
light off, each shows a wealth of highly accurate
political information; with the light on, each displays
hand-drawn relief illustrating the physical features
of the earth.
