Where on Google Earth #549

Andrew's WoGE #548 was less difficult to find than it seemed at first look. A landslide-dammed lake between high mountains, with alpine glaciers and very small cultivated fields led me almost straight to the eastern parts of the Himalayas.

Along the way I took a detour and found this:

Note the orientation!

Where on Google Earth #542

I haven't been so active lately, often having found the location only long after the NEXT puzzle was posted.
But Paul's WoGE #541 turned out to be surprisingly easy when my first hunch turned out to be correct!

So it's my turn again, and I hereby present yet another round thing:

I think the Schott rule would be superfluous this time.

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.

Where on Google Earth # 526

WoGE #525 was an interesting challenge which I could not solve before I saw the size of the nearby water body. 

This one is tangentially related, you might say, as this is also time-related. But in a very different way.

WoGE: Where on Google Earth #523

Andrew presented a very nice paleodelta with subsequent erosion by the smaller modern river in WoGE #522


Going from somewhere warmer than my last WoGE to somewhere even warmer, here is WoGE #523:

Where on Google earth #521

Felix presented the lowest point in the Americas, the Western Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere all rolled into WoGE #520. There is a lot of visible geology in Argentina!

Since I solved it quickly, I will post almost as quickly:

Besides, weekend is coming and I want to get home soon. :)

Where on Google Earth #519

Felix found an opencast lignite mine near the German/Polish border for WoGE #518. It looked very European, and North-central at that, so it seems it took me only 11 minutes to find it! I was helped by the fact that it was a repeat of WoGE #207, but I only noticed that after I had found it. :)

Since I solved it quickly, I will post almost as quickly:

This one should be a little more difficult, I believe.
