The Globe 250, Political and Physical in a wooden frame, is a very decorative element of interior design. Perfect as a gift. The globe features both a political and a physical map, illuminated, 2-in-1. Without backlighting, we see a political world map. However, when illuminated, the physical map is displayed. So we have two types of maps in one globe. Ideal for learning the geography of countries as well as for studying physical mountain peaks, lowlands, elevations, etc.
