Delaware/Pennsylvania Arc

The Delaware/Pennsylvania arc is a circle, sure, but so is every other allegedly "straight" line on the map. The 49N parallel looks like a straight line on some projections, but a polar projection shows that it is clearly a circle around a point on the Earth's axis. The Delaware/Pennsylvania arc is only unique for NOT being aligned with the axis. 172.71.102.20 19:07, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Great Blue Hole

There are two Great Blue Holes, one in Belize, one in Dahab, Egypt (Red Sea). 172.71.102.20 19:11, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Recent Google Maps discovery

This may be inspired Joël Lapointe's very recently announced discovery of a 15km-diameter "pit" he found near Marsal Lake (Quebec) using Google Maps. "He saw a suspicious pit on Google Maps. Experts say it could be a crater from an ancient space rock" 172.69.64.185 20:10, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
