Still struggling with your recent one - maybe a mine in Linlithgow or Leadhills? I guess the big clue would be, Streetview isn't just horizontal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also been to the most easterly and southerly in Scotland. I've not been to St Kilda yet though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How appropriate. Today is the anniversary of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you are referring to Sanikiluaq. In any case, one benefit of this thread is that people are getting to know about places with Inuit names. Presumably this picture is one of Inuit Graffiti but seriously I think that Google Maps have simply put it in the wrong place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture can't be Greenland - there's no railway lines there...or roads out of the towns for that matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, Google Maps does place it in Greenland but I really seriously think it is a mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I also have serious doubts about this one in Russia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 This one is also from Russia and I suspect it is also completely in the wrong place - although on this one I might be wrong. Obviously nobody can be expected to locate any of these three pictures from the picture alone but if you go on to Google Maps, they are located in the least likely places. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been on the thread since the Greenland roundabout one - I'll look for those posted since then now. Are there any unsolved from before that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Baryluk is a Councillor in Inuvik so obviously in Canada. If you google Norway Island Canada you find it. The bluff was people looking for it in Norway. There is also a Norway Island near Vancouver. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
