This beautiful illuminated desktop globe by Columbus Globes has a captivating look and provides an intriguing view of the world. The 20 inch glass sphere is encircled by a detailed and richly colored map, illuminated by an LED light. The light radiates through the glass and enhances the globe's night-time features, such as the lighted cities and national boundaries. A mahogany wood base complements the globe's rich color scheme, while a brass semi-meridian provides a secure cradle for the sphere. Engraved latitudinal calibrations on the meridian add a refined touch, making this globe an impressive visual centerpiece for any desk or study.
