Question Guess where
Ok sharp-eyed spotters and geography geeks, where on earth is this? It's visible in Google Earth and Google Maps.



There's even a hint attached.

I'm guessing New Zealand as you've also shown an Iveco Massif with the All-Black motif

I think it's Muroroa Atol.

I can tell by the glowing bits and the leakage trail.

Don't think so Slunnie... took a search and this seems to be Mururoa Atoll 21.83S 138.88W

This is neither an impact crater nor a volcano. It is a perfect circular intrusion, about 10 km in diameter with a topographic ridge up to 600 m high. The Kondyor Massif is located in Eastern Siberia, Russia, north of the city of Khabarovsk. It is a rare form of igneous intrusion called alkaline-ultrabasic massif and it is full of rare minerals. The river flowing out of it forms placer mineral deposits. Last year 4 tons of platinum were mined there. A remarkable and very unusual mineralogical feature of the deposit is the presence of coarse crystals of Pt-Fe alloy, coated with gold. This 3-D perspective view was created by draping a simulated natural color ASTER composite over an ASTER-derived digital elevation model. The image was acquired on June 10, 2006, and is located at 57.6 degrees north latitude, 134.6 degrees east longitude.
