Review: Very fine little globe - Chose it for its blue ocean and ocean information, which it has very little. Countries are muted pastel colors, not a political map, altho they say the boundaries are up to date. Can just make out major ocean riffs, wrinkles, basins and mouintains, no depths. Oceans are vast, would like more info. The Equator is brightly dashed with the interior light. With the light on the globe is an even easy to look at glow that is a lighter blue. NOT beige like the photo shows here. Globe is only 12"d, has plenty of information, but longitude and latitude lines are not numbered or named, like Tropic of Cancer. There are no seams, it's perfectly smooth, except the raised equator. ……….Have the Desktop Globe mounted on a GPCT Adjustable Tripod Speaker Stand that comes with a flat "Speaker mount" top, perfect fit for the globe's round wood stand. Tripod is height adjustable,, as well as the width of its legs, so it can have a more compact footprint, all super easy. Looks sturdy and pleasantly professional. Holds globe about 4', which puts the Equator at about 5 1/2 feet, off the floor and compliments the very blue Mercator Projection 42x62" World wall decal. Projection makes Greenland look larger than all of South America. Small globe brings reality into focus. Has more ocean features than the Big map with zero. ……….Interior globe light is not bright. Thre's no heat build up I can feel. And it's said to be LED. Usually means low/no heat and long life. ……….Found an extension cord that's hard to believe: GE Pro Designer Charging Station, Surge Protector Power Strip, 10ft Braided Extension Cord, Flat Plug, 2 Outlets, 2 USB Ports, 2.4A Fast Charge, etc. Globe's short black lamp cord winds around the tripod pole, plugs into the up-scale extension cord, where it sits unnoticed on the old blanket chest under the very BLUE wallmap. Flat plug plugs tidy into wall duplex behind the chest, pushed in close to the mopboard. ……….This is my first wallmap/deskglobe installation!! Piece-of-cake. Good to see where everything is on this planet. Lucked out a real nice setup. 5+ stars. All found on desertcart. Ebb Just found the paper instruction that came with the globe. BRIEFLY: Gain to the bulb by removing screw from top of globe meridian arm Carefully tilt the glob and lift it off the stand. Bulb will be reveald. E12 type Standard Clear or LED bulb: "3W LED Bulb or 15W Standard Clear Bulb. Prefered size no ghreater than 2.5" tall x 1.2" wide." That's what it says. They also say that if thje lioght doesn't work when you get the globe, the bulb may have shaken loose in shipment. Where you find the bulb is up to you! Review: A great globe for the home - I wanted a good quality globe that was up to date with current geopolitical boundaries and didn't really think much of the light up feature. When we got it and plugged it in, I was SO glad we got the lighted version (which was only a few dollars more) as it really is a nice feature and makes it easier to find smaller locations. It does not have raised features but I find the topographic details to be really well done. My 7 year old can easily figure out where the mountains are and it is just a quality piece overall for the price. ## Features - Decorative Globe: Waypoint Geographic’s Mariner II Illuminated Globe is a stunning decorative piece, perfect for any home or office decor.

When we got it and plugged it in, I was SO glad we got the lighted version (which was only a few dollars more) as it really is a nice feature and makes it easier to find smaller locations. It does not have raised features but I find the topographic details to be really well done. My 7 year old can easily figure out where the mountains are and it is just a quality piece overall for the price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful globe with a few issues *by R***L on April 15, 2016* This globe and stand are nicely crafted and quite beautiful when you view them close up. Some of the latitude and longitude lines don't exactly match across seams, but I don't find that an issue. The water is light blue and countries are muted colors, avoiding the garish mixture of colors seen on most globes. Two other pluses are 1) Ocean floor topology is shown for those interested in geology and, 2) there are no pictures of explorers or sailing ships taking up valuable real estate. The minuses are 1) The globe shows the dotted lines for the tropic of Cancer and the arctic circle but not for Capricorn and the antarctic and, 2) the bolt that holds the globe to the base is too long, extending a bit past the base. If not addressed it would cause the globe to rock and could severely scratch table tops. I added felt pads to the bottom to solve the problem. Not quite sure how they could get something like this wrong on such a nice globe. ## Frequently Bought Together - Waypoint Geographic Mariner Illuminated Globe - Laminated World Map & US Map Poster Set - 18" x 29" - Wall Chart Maps of the World & United States - Made in the USA - (LAMINATED, 18" x 29") - 2 Pack - Laminated World Map Poster & USA Map Set - Equal Earth world map design shows continents at true relative size - US Map 18” x 29” --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/36351025-mariner-illuminated-globe](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/36351025-mariner-illuminated-globe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
