Illuminated Desktop Globe by National Geographic

The National Geographic Illuminated Nicollet Globe is named after the French geographer and explorer Jean-Nicolas Nicollet, who mapped the Mississippi Basin during three expeditions in the 1830s after emigrating to the United States. His maps were the most accurate of the time and were unique in their use of Native American place names.

This 12-inch diameter globe features blue oceans and is illuminated, with a sturdy medium teak hardwood base, a steel yoke, and a diecast meridian. It is a perfect addition to any office, classroom, or home setting.

The globe's political map styling is complemented by raised relief topographic features, with thousands of place names displayed. The dimensions of this illuminated globe are 22 inches in height, 20 inches in width, and 16 inches in depth.

The National Geographic Illuminated Nicollet Globe is a visually striking and informative piece that serves as a testament to the meticulous cartographic work of Jean-Nicolas Nicollet. Its combination of illumination, detailed topography, and sturdy construction make it a versatile and valuable resource for those seeking to explore and understand the world around them.
