This stylish floor model by National Geographic features a 14-inch blue-ocean illuminated globe, handsomely displayed on a walnut pedestal. With an overall height of 39 inches, it's a beauty. Like all National Geographic globes, the sphere is constructed of nearly indestructible fiberglass, printed on the inside with multiple layers of ink and information, giving the smooth globe depth; illuminating the globe highlights the hand-drawn physical relief. The price includes domestic shipping by UPS ground.  (GLB17, $679.00)
