Subject: : [OT]: What is this on Google Maps? Newsgroups: gmane.org.user-groups.linux.tolug Date: 2007-10-22 15:59:15 GMT (1 year, 36 weeks, 3 days, 17 hours and 33 minutes ago) Hey all, The recent thread on "Crap in Google Earth" (GE is interesting, but bloated and not particularly useful AFAICT) got me thinking about an "artifact" I discovered a few weeks ago in Google Maps while researching an article on Global Warming. I'm really not sure what it is, but I have a couple theories: - It's the largest "Golden Ticket" produced by Willy Wonka - It's the remnants of a _huge_ construction project from some ancient society in Greenland. Lol. At first I thought it might just be some imaging artifact - part of the satellite itself perhaps. Considering the scales involved though, I'm not so sure. Whatever it is, it _appears_ very large (approx. 40km long by 15km wide) and "emerging" from the ice. Looks kinda like an Construction-Orange I-beam. To check it out plug this into Google Maps: 70.546862, -40.067139 -- Scott Elcomb http://www.psema4.com/ -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
