Still, striking blue rivers cut through the continents, adding dashes of texture. The Chamberlin floor globe has a raised relief. The highest peaks of the planet's mountain ranges can be felt when running a hand across the sphere's surface. To further experience the pleasures of this floor globe, simply flip on its light switch to fill a room with its warm illumination. There are 10 bright LED lights inside the sphere that send the Replogle globe's warm, earthy tones radiating outwards.

Combining National Geographic's exacting cartography with Replogle's tasteful globe manufacturing makes the Chamberlin Illuminated Floor Globe an irresistible addition to an already exemplary line of globes.
