World's tallest thermometer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The world's tallest thermometer is a landmark located in Baker, California, US.
[1] It is technically an electric sign, rather than a tall thermometer, however it exists as a tribute to the record 134 degrees Fahrenheit (57 degrees Celsius) recorded in nearby Death Valley on July 10, 1913.
It stands 134 feet tall and is capable of displaying a maximum temperature of 134, both a reference to the temperature record.
[edit] Location
The World's tallest thermometer is located adjacent to the famous Bun Boy Restaurant and can be visible along Interstate 15 in Southern California's Mojave Desert in Baker. Along the interstate, the landmark can be visible from three different sides.
