Thought experiment

You have two poles firmly ingrained into the ground which can never be uprooted. Hanging around one pole is an elastic band which can stretch infinitely.

If you pulled at this elastic band and walked all the way around the surface of the Earth, once you arrive back at the two poles, would the elastic band be transferred onto the other pole?
