The Compass Star
12" Raised Relief Desk Globe
...from National Geographic
The winged design of the Compass Star exemplifies a stylish modern look with
a touch of traditional elegance. A solid walnut base cradles the globe and
antique-brass die-cast meridian. The design of the hardwood base allows the
meridian to swing in either direction for easy viewing of the Southern
Hemisphere. Highlighted on the base is an inlaid National Geographic
commemorative coin. Features the latest National Geographic cartography
with clear bold fonts and colorful map design.
The up-to-date
National Geographic globe ball is produced in the United States by Replogle
Globes. It is expertly crafted using 100% re-claimed paperfiber.
Globe details include over 4,000 place names, countries represented in
contrasting colors, delineated U.S. states, and bodies of water. Raised
relief provides a better perspective of topographic features such as
mounting ranges. Ocean floor trenches, basins, and ridges are illustrated
