WORLD'S TALLEST THERMOMETER

'The world's tallest thermometer' is a landmark located in Baker, California, USA.
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.
