relief detail to be found on a production globe. Landmasses as well as
physical oceanic features are depicted using exaggerated relief that
illustrates the world highest peaks at over an inch in height. Such accurate
detail makes this globe ideal for classroom use as an excellent aid to
students learning both geology and oceanography. The globe is perfectly
suited for both educational and research institutions alike with its
adjustable chrome plated steel stand on heavy duty casters. Swing meridian
style mounting allows you to not only spin the globe a full 360 but easily
tilt it allowing full view of the South Pole. To get an idea of the level of
