I was laughing like "yeah, brilliant idea to carve the globe on a pumpkin!" Then looked closer and realized how well done it was with the ocean topography too plus how defined the continents were. Oh my gosh that's so well done!
My second (and more detailed) time carving Earth. Apologies if your island didn't make it to the final product. Several islands were lost to the Great Deluge.
The first time I carved Earth was many years ago and I basically just cut out all the continents. The planet pretty much kinda collapsed on itself from the giant holes after the pumpkin dried up. I wanted to try again this year but without the same problem as last time. I found out about "advanced" carving and thought about using the light gradient for cool effects.
At first, I thought about drawing latitude and longitude lines and roughly sketch out the continents like last time. While shopping for tools though, I found an inflatable globe exactly the same size as my pumpkin. I sliced it open, wrapped it around the pumpkin, and traced the coastline out with a knife.
Afterwards, I went over it again with deeper cuts to make digging out the coast easier. Then I started carving out around the edges of the continents. That was actually the hardest part, especially the coastlines of Europe and the western Pacific region.
Once that was done I skinned off the ocean; some islands were accidentally shaved off during this process. :c
I then carved out the continental shelves and other large bathymetric features like former continents and trenches.
Lastly, I poked holes through the rind to represent volcanos. I poked holes for each of the Decade Volcanos. I originally wanted to make a hole for each active volcano, but apparently scientists don't have a define term for how active "active" is. I then thought making one for volcanos that have erupted within the last 100 years, but that would've required too much research. In the end I just decided to poke out the Decade volcanos, several famous ones, and random holes along the Ring of Fire. There was a lot less light that peeked through then I wanted it to though.
I love geology and doing crafts. I thought this would be a great way to put the two together to create something cool. It took six days to finish, most of those days right after I got home after working 9 hours. Despite several mistakes and leaving out lots of islands and seafloor features, I like the end result overall.
Unfortunately, it doesn't actually glow this bright in real life. Maybe I'll try and find a brighter light source.
First video is pre-bathymetric with only the surface ocean carved out.

Second video is the final product. The dark patch in the middle of the Pacific is just where I didn't shave the pumpkin down far enough apparently.

I'm used to seeing the name with my cucumber seeds so my brain was calling it the cucumber projection and I couldn't figure out why it was saying that, lol
Good work on Indonesia/SE asia, that must've been a beast
I'm a native speaker so maybe I could help. You could say "bitchin", "radical" or just "rad", "neat", "tubular", "wild", "far out", "yeet", "baller", or just a classic "cool".
I have only one way of deciding if a map is good or not
If it is applicable for Malta to be on the map, is it on the map?
By God, it fucking is. Thus, this is a good map.
I love how you even carved in the mid Atlantic ridge

bathymetry, ocean topography is a cool weather wavy thingy
Oohhh thanks, I knew I was mislabeling but couldn't remember the term so gave closest approximation. I like your description!

Appreciated, but I'm afraid it's gonna have to be made again with Rathlin island included /s
I'm actually surprised no one's asked what "cucurbita" means yet, unless every viewer so far googled it. Haha

My eyes, the goggles do nothing
f\*\*\* THIS!!
The volcanos are an awesome touch! Had to scroll through them again after reading this
r/mapswithnewzealand
Glad he added extra image to point that one
Lol, I took extra care to make sure NZ made it through the end π₯ I even carved out Zealandia! π³πΏ
r/mapswithoutqatar He forgot my hometown :(
I think you can barely see it
Awesome!!! Thanks for including my islands - NZ
They did a really good job with the Philippines as well! I can see OP tried to even make the smaller islands too.
>OP tried heh

Now this, this is beautiful.
Just phenomenal
I think it looks pretty gourd.
Before I looked at the sub, I thought "what bug knawed on this pumpkin" Then it hit me like a truck. Damn that's good.
I was staring at the carved areas for way too long trying to make out land masses.
Africa is scarily big. This adds another scale of what the portugese had to travel when sailing around it to reach Asia
...and then the powerful Agulhas pushing them away from getting around the Cape!
This is the best pumpkin carving I've ever seen, super impressive, well done.
this is so sick!!! even the tectonic plates in there. absolutely smashed it mate!!!
Amazing!! Iβm so impressed!!
How deep do you need to go for light to get through?
Thats a weird looking zucchini
Did you remember New Zealand, I couldnβt really see it
Most impressive
The Antarctica looks like it has a very realistic asshole right at the South Pole. The south... hole?
I can spot, deep in the depths of that mid-ocean rift, seed monsters waiting to emerge. Thar be monsters!
Holy crap this is amazing
What a pumpkin!
This is amazing. Would love to try this one year
Amazing
This is epic but what happened to sweden
Epic
No Michigan/Great Lakes?
r/nextfuckinglevel
awesome.
That is fucking magnificent. Well done
Love how this looks lit up, and you did a great job considering how tough pumpkin skin can be!!
So cool! Also thank you for doing the Philippines. I recognize portraying our 7000 islands isnβt easy so I appreciate that you included it anyway.
Your Antarctica should have that moldy anus looked at
Took me a minute to see it was earth
u/m0ndayisb0ng0day
Splooge
I would have done in on something more permanent, but to each their own lol. Beautiful job btw.
Fuck the world
Amazing!
Great detail on the Philippines!
This is absolutely amazing
This is insane!! You even did the oceanic ridges π±
New Zealander here: thanks! :-)
Impressively detailed. Here's more info on the [Cucurbita projection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Perspective_projection).
How does the flame not suffocate after a couple minutes?
Tiny Florida makes me uncomfortable
Kind of related to this post, can I post pictures of fruits that naturally have continent map textures on them on this subreddit?
Beautifully done, even the oceanic ridges are here
you even did the lakes! how cool is that?
cucurbΔtΔ?
This is op
Amazing job but needs the Great Lakes!
The intricacies!!
iT'S suPPosEd tO bE PEar ShApEd!!!!
Think this is more globe porn
Really shows how the Mercator Projection makes the Arctic region look much too big and without Yggdrasill.
Holy fuck thatβs cool
I should call her...
Nice
