Where on Google Earth #528

Luis' WoGE #527 was a bit of a puzzler. I spent a long time searching the highlands of Madagascar before finally finding the mountains on the border between Mozambique and Zimbabwe - and even having found the place it was difficult to find good information on the geology. Maybe it would have been easier if I could read Portuguese?

 Anyway, here is a somewhat more populated place for WoGE #528:

This one really ought to have been posted about a month ago.

 As always, the first person to post the position and whatever is interesting about the geology/hydrology/geowhatever in this location, wins the privilege of hosting the next WoGE.

Previous WoGEs are collected by Felix on his blog and a KML file.

    Lake Alleghe in northern Italy.

    Site of the massive Mount Piz landslide that occurred in January 1771. The landslide blocked the Cordevole River, forming Lake Alleghe.

    That was quick. :)
    I have a special interest in large landslides and especially those involving lakes, my family is from Loen.
