Interesting Google Earth stuff
Nothing major, just this was interesting after stumbling on these islands in the South Pacific.
The first one is the Gough Island listed as uninhabited, but obviously someone has taken residency there. Looks like a nice abode indeed. http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-40.3...z=13&t=h&hl=en Now, the other island Tristan Da Cunha (http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=-37.0...z=14&t=h&hl=en) just the three noticeable craters and how rather precise they are in composition to each other. I actually wouldn't mind living in Edinburg. I would bet its a different life down there. Well, maybe not now, but..... Oh well |

Re: Interesting Google Earth stuff
Just noticed a vast amount of earthquake activity along the Gulf of Aden via Google Earth. You have to view it yourself, but when you get in the area, zoom in very close. Otherwise you will continue to only see water. Once you're close enough there is a mass string of Quakes registering along that entire strip.
This is quite interesting because with this kind of activity, you would have to wonder about all of the battle ships in the area. How can that be?? |

Good Stuff Meta. I wonder if it was some type of station or base of some sort. I guess too lazy to complete the research.
