Where On Google Earth #522

It's hard squeezing in between Ole and Felix, but I was lucky this time - and managed to find Ole's #521 after a bit of searching to find the right shade of colour seen for the water and the barren terrain.  

The main item of geologic interest is the circular hole - the cryolite mine at Iviqtut. Cryolite is used in the process of modern aluminum extraction. This location is one of the only naturally occurring locations of this very important compound.

For this contest, let's go somewhere warmer!

The Schott Rule is invoked to give others a chance to solve the puzzle!  This means previous winners have to wait one hour for each win they previously had, before they are allowed to solve. 

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.

Where on Google Earth #506

505 was one that took me three weeks to solve - but it was only after Luis-Filipe gave us the larger scale image that I made any significant progress identifying the topography and the land coverage.

WoGE #506 is given here.

Since I anticipate this will be an easy one, let's use the Schott Rule to slow the real speedsters down a bit.  It is now September 23nd at 0345 UTC / September 22nd at 11.45 pm EDT.

Schott rule: The host of a WOGE may or may not decide to invoke the so called "Schott rule". This means previous winners have to wait one hour for each win they previously had, before they are allowed to solve. If you invoke the Schott rule, you have to publish the posting time in UTC or GMT.

Where on Google Earth #501

WOGE 500 (http://flowbanded.blogspot.ca/2015/07/where-on-google-earth-v05k-woge-500.html) was not easy to find.  But eventually I did, after many futile attempts to locate it.

Here is the next contest entry - some might say it has geographic significance, more than geological significance.
