For thousands of years people thought that the earth was flat and ever since we found out that it was in fact round we have been making globes of the world. World globes are not only used by humans for geographical purposes such as locating where you are. They also feature in advertisements, Globeview

logos and monuments. In honour of the later here are my top five monument globes from around the world.

The Unisphere is found in Flushing Meadows Park, Queens in New York City. It is 120 feet in diameter and is the world’s largest global structure. It is 12 storeys high and was made to celebrate the beginning of the space age. It was also the theme symbol of the New York World’s Fair in 1964/1965. The theme of the fair was “Peace Through Understanding”. The Unisphere was designed by Gilmore D Clarke and the stainless steel used to construct it was donated by the United States Steel Corporation who also constructed it.

The Eartha globe is the world’s largest rotating globe and can be found in Yarmouth in the state of Maine. Eartha is found at the headquarters of DeLorme who are Americas largest producers of road maps and atlases. It weighs 2500 kilograms and is kept in a glass atrium and at night it is illuminated and can be viewed from the U.S. Route 1.

The Babson globe can be found at the campus of Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts. The globe weighs 25 tons and is 28 foot in diameter. Originally the globe was spun on its axis and its base. This was so it could represent not only sunrise and sunset but also the changing of the seasons.

The Mapparium is located in Boston, Massachusetts at the Christian Science Plaza. The globe is made from stained glass and is viewed from a 30-foot bridge inside the globe. The reason for this is so that the eye can see the exact geographical distances between countries. This is something that the eye can’t usually take into account from the outside.

Universal Studios have been using a globe as their logo since the studio began. This logo was later turned into a monument, Globeview
