Where on Google Earth # 571

Elisabeth took us to one of the most inhospitable places on the planet in WoGE #570, the Dallol volcano which with a peak elevation of -48m MSL is the lowest subaerial volcanic mountain.


This one isn't quite as bad, although what I am after happend when it IS bad.:






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.

Where on Google Earth #569

Andrew's WoGE #568 was not so hard to find, but it took a little longer to find out what it was. The Husab Mine which is just now starting operation is the third largest Uranium deposit in the world, but since the operation is so new there are no photos and no Wikipedia tag in the area. I finally realised that uranium mines are just about the only ones that need THAT much processing facilities, which made the search a little easier. 


Onwards to the next contest!



No mine this time, and (mostly) not desert either.
