The 13 inch Freiburg Illuminated Desktop Globe by Columbus Globes is a stunning example of the German manufacturer's exceptional design. The blue ocean globe is complemented by the silver of the stainless steel half-meridian and the brown of the Makassar wood base. Measuring 13 inches in diameter and held 17 inches tall, the globe also features a time dial that can be used in coordination with the latitude and longitude grid to determine time zone information.
The Freiburg is an excellent example of Columbus' classic DUORAMA map, which displays two maps in one. When the light is off, the globe showcases a physical map, highlighting the planet's natural features such as the rugged blue ocean floor and rough green and yellow surface of the landmasses. When illuminated, the vibrant colors of the map come to life, adding to its cartographical value and political map is also visible.
