ITT we search barren wastelands on google earth for interesting photos/geometry

[Scot]

I started doing this a few weeks ago when I decided to see what I could find in seemingly empty parts of the world, such as most of Russia.

Here's what you do:

Go to google maps

Find somewhere you know is mostly empty, for example northern Russia (Siberia)

Turn on Photos at the top right

Find some interesting things people have captured and post them here along with coordinates.

Here's some stuff I found.

This is waw an namus. It's in Lybia.

It's an ancient volcanic caldera. Thought it looks pretty cool.

On some photos it even looks un-earthly.

I like the contrast between the white and black sand.

It's literally in the middle of the desert, the sand quickly shifts to the darker tone and then back which looks awesome IMO.
