Where on Google Earth #471

Veidos gave us a very nice glacial deposit in WoGE #470, which while rather small had more than sufficient clues to alow me to find it in a very short time. Since I found it so quickly, I decided to wait a week before posting the answer so that others could have a go at it. But unfortunately it seems I am the only one who can recognise moraine shapes on sight?

For WoGE #471 I decided to stick with the subject.


There are glaciers here, but I think that the geology of this area is well enough documented that a correct answer should include a little bit more than just the glaciers.

No Schott rule on this one, unless you know where it is and decide to wait on your own initiative. ;)

As always, 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.

Where on Google Earth # 469


Kubilay's WoGE # 468 took me a lot less time to solve than I think he expected, to be honest I was surprised myself when all my hunches turned out to be correct.

I didn't know about Tuz Gölü in advance, which is one of the reasons I love this game: Every new puzzle teaches me something new, whether I am the poster or the solver.
 
For my first WoGE in the new year, I present an image from an area I know very little about. There is something structural, without which it would be just about impossible to solve this. There are some secondary structural-geology-related features, which i think are rather interesting. And there is something geomorphological, which I found quite surprising - all things considered.

 Time for a hint, perhaps?
