Gadling Gift Guide: Glowing Globe
With the advent of the Internet and Google maps and all that, globes almost seem passe. But when was the last time
you actually looked at a globe, spun it with your hands, ran your finger over the equator and plotted the distance
between Los Angeles and Antarctica? And more than that, what about your kids, would you love for them to have a
three-dimensional way to see the world? And wait, one more thing: what about a globe that glows!
OK, here you go. This beautiful, illuminated
desktop
globe from National Geographic delivers you the world. With the light off, the globe shows political data and
place-names, oh, there's the Ivory Coast. Then with the light on you can see hand-drawn mountains, valleys, vegetation
zones, and ocean floors. So beauuuuutiful!
