The National-Geographic map: The political map (switched off) employs the same representation codes as the world famous National Geographic maps, i.e. all the countries in one single colour contrasting with coloured borders, bills of fount in 3 colours, very detailed information (thousands of city names, depths...). The ground vegetation map (switched on) shows the visible surface of the earth with, in brown, the rock-mountains, in various greens the conifers forests, the tropical forests, the cultivated zones, in yellow and ochre the savannas, the steppes, the deserts and in white the polar areas or the glaciers.
Features - Elegance and high cartographic accuracy are the characteristics of the National Geographic globes. - Each globe is shipped with a detailed booklet. - We dont just print our globes; we strive to create an incredibly deep, flawless shine. - It all starts in our state-of-the-art clean printing room, where our craftsmen work just with superior acrylic sheets. - Bringing in all kind of papers is strictly forbidden, because it would bring in fine paper dust particles which could later be attracted in the printing process. - Printing up to 17 successive layers of colors, theres a curing process between each layer, along with an inspection and careful cleaning. - Once the printing is complete, a high gloss clear coat layer is applied over the entire map, than it is sent back for inspection to our cartographic department.
