Scratch Off Globe And 5 Other Unique Globes Of The World
Why do people love globes, maps, and geo-visualization?
I have always loved maps, atlases and other visual representation of the world. But why?
I think it is part beauty, part travel and part fascinate of living on this planet with a finite amount of land.
- Beauty – The depiction of maps are present on many decor items that we have to choose from. Its a timeless topic of display that can be found depicted on everything from a globe on a test to a pattern on a pillow.
- Travel – The Earth is a limited size with limited countries. Many people like to travel and explore places and cultures that span every corner of the Globe and dream about the places we haven’t been yet.
- Fascination – We, as humans all live on this planet that circles the sun. Every human that has ever lived has depended on the air and food that this planet has provided. That is so amazing! Mankind has conquered the task of mapping the whole planet in pinpoint precision. Looking and exploring that work never grows old.
