On our trip to Maine, my wife (Shara) and I visited the world's largest revolving/rotating globe. Known as
Eartha, this globe measures over 41 feet in diameter and is housed at the headquarters of DeLorme (a manufacturer of maps, atlases, global positioning systems, and mapping software) in Freeport, Maine. The globe is housed in the company's three story lobby.My wife and I (mainly my wife) have a collection of globes so this was one of many highlights of the trip for her.
