The Columbus Marco Polo Illuminated Desktop Globe is filled to the brim with richly detailed cartographical splendor! The acrylic sphere is held tall on its brass base, and also has a horizontal meridian that bisects the globe and features a notch for each of the day's 24 hours.

At the base of the stand there is a dial that has a notch for every day of the year. By turning the dial, the globe replicates the earth's yearly orbit around the sun. In addition to the wealth of astronomical value, the Columbus Marco Polo Illuminated Desktop Globe features a physical map that also has political features. Columbus Globe
