The Voyage  •   National Geographic
EXPLORATION •  GLOBE
The illuminated Voyage, a beauty, recalls the aged-parchment of 17th Century globes. The jumbo 14-inch tabletop model features 5,000 place names, including ocean currents and undersea features, and a handsome hardwood base. Made of nearly indestructible fiberglass (like all the National Geographic globes), the globe is printed with multiple layers of ink and information on the inside, which give the smooth globe depth. International borders are marked with a wash of subdued color, which disappears into the background when the globes are illuminated. The oceans are earthtone with a complementary gold-colored semi-meridian and walnut-stained base. Price includes separate domestic shipping via UPS ground. (GLB13, $289.00)
