With 2014 already over in some parts of the globe, it’s time to sing Auld Lang Syne and welcome 2015, The first spot on earth to see each new year is Millennium Island (formerly Caroline Island) in Kiribati, though it took a bit of crafty date-line and time-zone trickery to make it so. You can read more about it in our post from a few years ago which took a detailed look at New Year’s Eve around the world.

Best wishes for 2015 from all of us at Google Sightseeing!
