- 1// Replogle Obelisk Globe
Perfect for: Summiting Mt. Everest from your La-Z-Boy.
Geek factor: If you’d rather hike through the Guggenheim than scale Austria’s Grossglockner, the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired base of this globe will help you survey in style. And thanks to raised-relief terrain, you can let your fingers do the trekking.
$1,000 - 2// “Weber Successors to Andrews” Transitional Globe (1891)
Perfect for: Traveling back in time aboard your steam-powered flying machine.
Geek factor: Explore bygone dominions—the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, the Russian Empire, Imperial China—with this Victorian-age artifact. And don’t worry about being too out-of-date: North and South Dakota are drawn as states!
$3,750 - 3// Discovery City Lights Globe
Perfect for: Fretting about the energy crisis.
Geek factor: Only astronauts get to see the terrestrial light show as Earth’s cities illuminate the night. If you’re stuck down here with the rest of us, this is the next best thing: a revolving globe that reveals the power-gobbling glow of the planet’s metropolises.
$90 - 4// Stellanova Levitating Desk Globe
Perfect for: Remembering that Earth doesn’t actually have a metal shaft shoved through it.
Geek factor: It floats. Thanks to the power of magnetism, this planet looks very planetary hovering inside the plastic “C” that frames it.
$120 - 5// Celestial Star Globe
Perfect for: Highlighting our insignificant place in the universe while looking impressively nerdy to guests.
Geek factor: Identify 500 stars and 70 constellations with this handcrafted star atlas. Wondering where Pegasus is in the North American sky? In mid-September, it’s above the northeastern horizon.
