This will be polished a bit, but I really want it up for New year!
Fireworks may have been involved...
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.
Hello!
SvarSlettI recently discovered Woge on the swung.rocks slack group, what a great game. I've been doing somewhat similar challenges with friends by sending photos taken from random places we go to.
I believe the site in question is geo:-19.592222,17.933611 in Namibia. The Hoba meteorite is located here.
The meteorite was initially excavated and reported on in 1920. In 1932 in a an article titled "Hoba (South-West Africa), the largest known meteorite" the meteorite's mass was estimated to be up to 87 tons, consisting mainly of iron (81%) and nickel (17%). The meteorite is regarded as the largest know single piece meteorite on earth's surface.
The meteorite hasn't been moved from where it impacted roughly 80 000 years ago, and now serves as an attraction for tourists visiting the area.
Jarmo: I see first signs of an phyton algorithm for finding locations. So maybe in future we don't have to scan for many hours in Google Earth but can watch the latest movies and drink something instead. :-)
SlettAah! Sorry for double pasting... ctrl+v+v
SlettAbsolutely correct Jarmo, and welcome to WoGE!
SvarSlettThis was a tricky one due to the lack of visual clues both to the area and to what the subject is. Congratulations on solving my new year fireworks puzzle!

SvarSlettI don't know if there is a way to make the water look nicer, since it's kind of ugly now, but...
