WoGE #436

I seem to be on a roll here, with challenges that somehow fits my way of thinking. Felix' WoGE #435 is a case in point, the size and shape of the fields together with lots of forest, power lines and a rocky-shored lake pointed me to Finland or Sweden; it was Finland.

This one is NOT in Scandinavia:

WoGE #434

Luis' WoGE #433 seemed almost impossible at first glance, but there were enough clues to lead me to New Zealand even without noticing the deleted image information.

Sticking with an eruptive theme, I hereby present one that I suspect really IS hard:

I have zoomed rather close, but that is because there is nothing more to see!

A warning: If you activate shorelines, this one isn't marked - at least not in the correct place. The Wikipedia tag is in a third location.

WoGE #432

Luis made an almost impossible challenge with WoGE #431, the Cherbakul lake where the major parts of the Chelyabinsk meteorite have been found. I foundi it through inept navigation, I thought I was searching somewhere else!

After such a cold and wet location it is time to go for a drier place. Maybe not so hot, though - at least not all year!

I like desert locations, it's so easy to see the major geologic elements. And I like mines, because it's easy to find in-depth geologic information. So here's a mine in a desert.

WoGE #429

Luis had an ineresting WoGE #428, one I am sure everyone has seen photos of. Yet it proved deceptively hard to track down, even when starting on the right continent!

But enough outliers and inselbergs. Here's a hole.

Where is it, why is there a hole now, and what is the geology of the area?

Schott rule applies, due to the historig/geologic/something else significance of this hole. Original posting time 3/10/2014 10:33 UTC/GMT +1 hour.

I have deliberately zoomed in rather close to make it a little less easy.

If you don't know what the Schott Rule is, it may still apply to you.
