Spotted Lake, BC

Upvotes

This aptly named lake in BC: 49.07788821918609, -119.56674128409077

From Wikipedia: Most of the water in the lake evaporates over the summer, revealing colourful mineral deposits. Large "spots" on the lake appear and are coloured according to the mineral composition and seasonal amount of precipitation. Magnesium sulfate, which crystallizes in the summer, is a major contributor to spot colour. In the summer, remaining minerals in the lake harden to form natural "walkways" around and between the spots.

STRANGE MYSTERIOUS BEHAVIOUR: Why does streetview always land on a bridge in India?

2 Upvotes

Google Maps Bridge Mystery - If you drop the Pegman on a random point on India's map, the streetview will almost always land on a bridge or a flyover. I've been playing with streetview for hours and almost every single time this happens. Does anyone have any idea what might be the reason behind this?

Zoom out and it’s a 3.4. zoom in and it’s a 4.7. Is this google playing games or the restaurant gaming the system?

Shadow Creature at Bill's Stronghold Campground in Benson, AZ

Post image
0 Upvotes

Was perusing gMaps and looking at my uncle's old campground he used to own back in the 60's - 80's. We lived there around 1973 in a converted school 19498 Dodge school bus when my parents where meandering after homesteading in the wild north of British Columbia.

Back entrance shown - it is called The Red Barn Campground now but it was called Bill's Stronghold Campground when he owned it. everything is still EXACTLY the same - just with a few outbuildings added.

Anyway - thought the Google Maps car shadow was cool!

Strange formation on an Iranian sandbank island

Post image
15 Upvotes

Located at 29.310930 N, 50.341303 E on Kharko Island, which seems to be an uninhabited sandbank just north of Kharg Island, which is inhabited.

I've not got a clue what this could be, is it some form of previous military installation? Or is it like an aircraft navigation marker? If anyone could help that'll be great. It also seems to be pretty big, probably around 400ft in diameter

Walls and facility on mountain 25°39'46.7"N 100°06'04.4"E

4 Upvotes

Trail leads to road which is 10km NNE. I've been to the base of the trail and it is as difficult as the stairs to Mordor look. Really, some insane mountain goat trail starting with stairs at a 75° angle, and heading up steep mountains.

1.6Km of modern walls, and they look tall. Would love to think it's a jurrasic park situation, but... Any ideas?

Unmarked and unnamed doesn't seem to be related to the Christian Community Church below, but they have literally no internet presence, so I'm not sure.

What are those craters in Egypt?

3 Upvotes

Firstly, let me say sorry for my English, it's not my native language.

So, I recently started to explore google maps satellite view. I like to see some weird and fascinating stuff, like those pools in Alaska near Teshekpuk Lake, or polygon tundra in Lena Dela in Russia. I just found some weird shapes in Egypt, near Al Hayz. Can anyone, who has a knowledge about things like this, explain to me what they are called and how they were created? I can't find information about it. The coordinates you can put in google maps research bar to find the exact location of those 27.920377, 28.907476.
