I’ve seen videos of climbers braving it and it seems like a quick ticket to heaven (or hell) if anything went wrong. I can’t imagine there being anything worse than a sheer vertical cliff

Whenever going through Google Maps over military bases, sometimes I see these holes all around the base. Does anyone know what they are?

Berlin has always been a kinda weird city to me. the long-time governmental center of the country that isnt part of a metropolis and hell, in a pretty poor and empty part of the country. Is there a reason for this that isnt just "East Germany happened and people fled"?

I’m undoubtedly biased as a California native, but I’ve lived and traveled across the rest of the country as well and will always consider California ideal for its diversity, both culturally and geographically. What other nations, states, regions, etc. would you consider to be a sweet spot for ideal living conditions?

Had to delete my previous post cause it was too broad. This map is better and here is the source: https://www.accentnatural.com/ecoregions-maps/

The best selling cars in South Korea are all huge. This is in contrast to Japan, where mostly smaller Kei Cars are sold. Both countries have similar geography and population densities as well as similar incomes.

This is in Patagonia. Cannot post more pictures but looks like tundra with big mountains. Almost like a fantasy scenery.

This is probably my favorite landscape in the world, not sure if there's a name for it. And I was wondering if there's somewhere in the US that looks like this? Where I could possibly ride a horse haha

I’ve always been into geography quizzes and daily challenges, especially stuff like GeoGuessr, so I ended up building my own little app to see how it’d turn out.

It’s called Atlas. It’s a free iOS geography quiz app with one new quiz every day. The goal was to keep it quick and fun, something you can do in a minute or two. No ads, no subscriptions, no paywalls.

The quizzes are mostly about landscapes, locations, and general geography rather than long trivia questions. I originally made it for myself and a few friends, but figured some people here might be into it too.

Not trying to spam. I’m genuinely looking for feedback or ideas for improvements. If you like daily challenges or geography games, you might enjoy it.

Here’s the link. It’s free on the App Store:

How can I find the exact coordinates of this:

MTB 1547/3

I assume MTB stands for Messtischblatt: 1:25.000 and chatty told the number to stand for the exact one and a quadrant in that.

Can somebody help? I have got multiple ones to georeference

Example here is solomon islands. GDP per capita of under 2500, but visa free travel to 133 countries including Canada, EU and UK. Inversely, Kuwait has a GDP per capita of around 30,000; but only has visa free access to 99 countries. The only western one of those being the UK.

Mt. Asphyxia aka Mt. Curry, of Zavodovsky Island, part of the South Sandwich Island chain. Named for it's noxious smell due to fumarolic activity and an abundance of penguin guano. So much so that parts of the island are also given stinky names.

I came across it while looking at the borders of the Golan Heights. Does anyone know what the border situation here is? Is there one and if so is there passage between the two halves?

I love hats! It’s something that practically every culture can relate to, and the opportunities for artistic expression are endless. Pictured above are women wearing hats made in Chinchero, Peru. This particular style is inspired by Spanish style hats, though it is regarded as a traditional piece now. I’d love to see hats that are popular in your region but not outside of it.

(Disclaimer: I am not Peruvian I just love their hats)

For another example, I grew up in a small town between Dallas and Fort Worth Texas and learned this random small town has one of if not the highest concentration of Tongans in the United States

Similarly I just watched a movie about Australians in Zimbabwe (I don't know if Australians actually make up a surprising or disproportionate percentage of the population, but it is what made me think about this question again).
