The turquoise globe, Earth’s unique sphere, glows with warmth and vivacity. Giant elephants pound over the mountain ranges of the world; majestic rock forms needling towards the sky from their misty foothills. The Rockies and Andes of the Americas, Pyrenees of Europe, the Caucasus and Himalaya of Middle East and Asia, and the Atlas of Africa, where a giant locomotive prepares its own journey in the wake of the elephantine passage. An Asian leopard prowls barren land while unperturbed giant panda resume their bamboo feast; an exquisite peacock displays over Eastern Europe and a watchful parakeet stands sentinel in the Southern Atlantic. Giant palms soar skyward from these poles, watchful over the heroes of terra firma and the subterranean world beneath.
