This is available in Finnish, English and Italian now, thanks to CymruLlewes, who translated the pattern into English (and also made a better chart) and Lia, who translated it into Italian. :) I also made a new chart on March 2012 (see the last photo), but there are no glaciers.

It doesn’t matter very much, which size of needles or which yarn you use, the size of the finished globe just will vary a bit.
