The globe is a sculpture on the North Cape plateau in Norway and the symbol of the North Cape.

The steel sculpture was erected in 1978 and represents a globe , the steel rings of which form lines of longitude and latitude . The globe, inclined according to the inclination of the earth, stands on a steel pillar that rises from a base that can be reached via five steps.

The globe serves as a symbol for the global meeting point on the North Cape, where people from all over the world meet.
