#450

The cold Wrangel Island was Ole's last challenge - I knew it wasn't Norway, but I had to certify it! I searched in Sweden, Finland, Iceland and then ... time ended. After the hint, I started looking east and then ... there it was, the last woolly mammoths population's location!

Now, lets get warmer:



To me (if I saw this WoGE) is hard, but to you, the "veterans", I'm betting it's rather easy, so Schott's Rule is ON! (Publish time 2014.06.24 | 13:16 WEST)

So, your goal is to find out the exact location and the geology of this place and, if you are the first, you can have the honor of presenting the next WoGE.
Rules, tips and previous WoGEs are collected by Felix on his blog and a KML file is available with all WoGEs.

Picture #2 - 4X magnification of the central point:


(I don't know if this helps ...)

Picture #3 - Ooh there it is!!



It was hidden, but now, with a oblique view, the mighty volcano appears!
(Note: the summit is +/- 40 km away from the first image central point!)

Post-"find" note:
It appears that the colours of the first image aren't the same as present GE's images - I can't explain why the image colours are different and all the rest seems equal ... If Google changed the photo, other aspects of the image should have changed also, right?

The iguaçu waterfalls was Ron's challenge was, to me, one of those who turned out to be easy due to this list. On the other hand, this is one that I look and gave up almost immediately:

When I saw Kubi's #445 I immediately recognized the site - I've "been" here! - I just did not know where it was ... After exploring the picture (it was a mine), I remembered! The terrible Soma mine accident made me, at the time, (GE-)fly the area ... and then I found it.

And now, #446:


This one, to me, is a kind of homage to a group of geologists.

For this new challenge you should find out exact location and its geology.

P.S.: I had to erase the image providers because it made it too easy!
