National Geographic presents you with an incredibly detailed hand layered blue-ocean globe! The 12 inch diameter Metropolis Globe is illuminated. When the light is off, this sphere is a political globe and when the lights are on it is a physical globe. Metropolis is a simple and elegant base design, a silver stand and a silver matte toned semi-meridian that half frames the detailed National Geographic globe. Standing 17" high, Metropolis is a unique contemporary twist on the classic National Geographic globe. Dimensions: 13"W x 13"D x 17"H
