WoGE #399

It is easy to solve a WoGE when you have already considered the same location yourself - so wxwolf's WoGE #398 was solved very quickly.

I have another location marked with exactly the same features, but in a very different setting. That one would also be solved very quickly, especially after everyone (?) has been looking for that kind of thing.

So I choose something very different.

The theme this time is something I have touched on earlier, so that's what I'm after this time too: Location, formation, and something about the water. I can't remember if the water thing is well documented, but you ought to be able to infer it from the picture.

The "Schott rule" is in force. This means previous winners have to wait one hour for each win they previously had, before they are allowed to solve.

For any new players to Where on (Google) Earth, simply post a comment with latitude and longitude and write something about the (geologic/geographic/hydrographic) feature in the picture. If you win, you get to host the next one. Previous WoGEs are collected by Felix on his blog and a KML file.

WoGE #397

Finding WoGE #396 took me longer than it should, considering I had a place mark very close in my "maybe WoGE list".
I finally realised that there are large areas in Alaska and Canada that have no signs of glaciation, and that the strange things along the rivers were placer gold mines - in the Klondike area.

And now for something completely different again.

Two round things.

Since the area is small and there is little help in the copyright text, there is no Schott rule this time.

WoGE #395

It took me a while to find WoGE #394, even if I found out very quickly what continent it was on. There aren't many places where a curving road following the contours of the land would break out into a rectangular NS/EW grid as soon as it reaches level ground. :)

Despite having a fair idea of the general area, it wasn't until I was showing a colleague how to combine all the visual clues into a specific area that I accidentally stumbled across it, right where I had explained that it might very well be!

And now for something completely different:
WoGE #395 has a lot of geology in it, both tectonics, sedimentology, fluvial deposits, and - something else.

Because this WoGE ought to be rather easy, I invoke Schott's Rule: former winners have to wait with posting for 1 hour for each WoGE they got right. I will post some hints if there is no answer after some time.
