A versatile geographical tool, this globe is a little different from others we carry - this one is blank! Oh, it has the blue water and the green land, the major lakes and political boundaries between countries, and the lines of latitude and longitude, but that is all. Supplied with the globe is a dry-erase marker that can be used anywhere on the surface of the globe, giving you an endless variety of uses - as you can clearly mark anything that needs to be learned without the clutter of thousands of other letters getting in the way. The globe has a 12 inch (30 CM) diameter, a metallic stand, and a plastic time dial. Also included is a pamphlet on how to use and enjoy this globe. ~ Zach
