Rotating Globe

Product Description

What is it about globes thats so engaging? Is it that we look at them & think home? Or dream of all the places wed like to go? Or remember those weve been to? Whatever it is that makes them so captivating, this desktop Rotating Globe is no exception. Unlike the huge ones that youve no real idea where to put, this diminutive version is the size of a pomelo or oversized grapefruit, & comes without a st&, because it doesnt need one. Somewhere deep in its nether, or Antarctic regions, lies a tiny little motor powering a revolving disc. You know this & we know this, but to the casual observer this brilliant little gem of a globe will sit on your desktop or mantelpiece, quietly & seemingly magically, rotating on its axis. Touch the top of the globe for a couple of seconds & it will start rotating the other way (this may play havoc with the North Atlantic Drift & throw the planet into a devastating spiral of chaos & ultimately annihilation, though probably not). Powered by a single AA battery that you insert somewhere in the region of the earths core, the Rotating Globe will, as the name rather obviously suggests, rotate away delighting you, your friends, & all the tiny little inhabitants who live on it.
