The Globe Arena looks like a big golf ball but is actually the world’s largest spherical building. Not much of a surprise there, it had to be the world’s largest or tallest something ![]()

Lesotho is one of the most unique countries on the planet. It’s the southernmost landlocked country, the largest country that’s entirely surrounded by another country, and the highest country on Earth. Yet, it doesn’t really show up on too many people’s radar. With the arrival of Google Street View imagery this month to Lesotho, it’s time to shed some light on the world’s largest enclave.

Fredrik: It’s very common for our eyes to “invert” these type of images. Our brains have been wired to expect the light source (the sun) to be from the top, and shadows to be cast downwards. When we see a picture like this with the light source coming from the bottom and shadows cast upwards, our brains find an alternative interpretation.
