In the oceans, undersea trenches and basins are named with arrows indicating major ocean currents. A clever use of shading in the oceans gives a stunning effect when the globe is illuminated. The globe has a diameter of 30 cm and is 40 cm high.

The Carbon globe features a hard transparant plastic meridian and a black scratch-resistant base that houses a metal weight for added stability. This Carbon series is available in two types: the "Classic" or "Blue" globe (with blue oceans) and the "Executive" (antique view). These globes can be illuminated.
