Where on Google Earth #510

Felix showed us a very classic location that has until now been overlooked in WoGE, the Isola Vulcano in the Liparian Islands.

Since I found it very quickly and I finally have time to find a new location, here is WoGE #510:

Andrew's magnificent landslide in WoGE #506 was surprisingly easy, I thought - but since it seems that nobody else found it easy, it is my turn again.

I think I can safely say that this location is not where I would have thought it should be.

Where on Google Earth #503

After the intriguing #500 which took a long time to solve, we have now had two rapid ones in a row.

So this might be a little bit harder again.

 

 Some areas have more hidden geology than others.

Where on Google Earth #495

I found Gord's WoGE #494 quite quickly, a very interesting location in Argentina with sufficient visible clues to make it a relatively simple search.

My summer vacation starts in 3 hours, so I don't really have the time to search for a "perfect" WoGE this time. With the new update, Google Earth itself has a lot of interesting geography highlighted, which makes it a little bit harder to find something that will take at least a few hours to find.

This one shouldn't be hard to find, I believe.

But there is a LOT of geology here - metamorphic, economical, structural, glacial, morphological, erosional...

Where on Google Earth #493

Bill led me far astray with his WoGE #492, which turned out to be a sheltered inlet on the Andaman Islands.

Leaving the tropics from now, here is some exposed rock:

Where on Google Earth #491

Bill's WoGE #490 took us to the Laurens Peninsula of Heard Island, a very interesting location in a very remote part of the world.

This time I give you something vaguely related.

 

 

For such an interesting little area, it is surprisingly rarely visited. Or maybe it isn't so surprising after all...

Where on Google Earth #489

Gord's Colombian mud volcano was fairly easy to solve due to clues which had nothing whatsoever to do with the actual mud volcano! I like that kind of puzzle where a whole lot of different and seemingly unrelated clues come together and point out a very limited area to search in.

For the next one, I considered for a moment asking for the southernmost known eclogite in teh Western Greiss Region of Norway. But since that is a small lens (about 20x80cm) in a shear zone, exposed under an overhang in my own garden, I decided that it was a bit TOO impossible. :)

Instead, I give you hydrology.

This one shouldn't be too hard, I think - but I liked the pattern it makes.
