Globe Silver Explorer 30cm

Over 2,000 geographical names are listed on this hand-laminated illuminated globe. National Geographic's award-winning cartography combines a classic antique map design with an up-to-date political representation.

The text is clearly laid out and each country is shown in a different colour, with a darker shade at the borders to make the political map stand out more clearly.

Warm earth tones are used and a clear typeface improves readability. Shading indicates both mountain ranges on land masses and undersea relief. Cartographers refer to this as shading.
