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.
