The Waypoint Geographic Primus Relief Globe is a high-quality illuminated world globe that offers a unique and immersive learning experience. Its physical earth map with raised relief features allows you to explore the world's topography and major mountain ranges with ease. The real hardwood base and metal numbered meridian provide a sturdy support structure and help you locate specific areas on the globe. One of the standout features of this globe is its illumination, which can be easily turned on and off with an inline switch. The easy-to-operate inline on/off switch helps display the 2-in-1 raised relief map with physical/topographic features when turned off and a political world map with up-to-date named places and political boundaries when illuminated. One of the most interesting finds for any home or office decor, the globe's compact size of 15.7” H x 13” W x 12” D allows it to fit comfortably on any desk or table. Its base style is a lens, which provides a clear and unobstructed view of the globe's features, while its real hardwood base adds a touch of sophistication to any space.
