Back in the day when I was very active on my personal blog, I would occasionally post a screenshot from Google Earth and challenge readers to guess the location. It was pretty popular, and more than anything it was just plain fun.
And so, it’s my pleasure to reintroduce the Satellite Challenge game on Tropophilia. I’m going to try and make the sites I choose relevant to current happenings in the news and, to the greatest extent possible, related to our blog’s theme of change. I believe I did pretty well with this one. Take a look at the inaugural challenge and see what you come up with for the name of this city (and bonus points for why it has been important recently):
A little generic looking, I know, but remember: it’s related to current or recent events. Feel free to explore and confirm using Google Earth.
For now, the winner will be recognized in the comments. Down the line we’ll figure out a cool reward, even if it’s just having your name in the sidebar or something.
Happy geohunting.
[Update: Well that was fast. We have a correct answer, so don't look at the comments if you want to still try and figure it out on your own. I'll try to come up with another one soon. If you have suggestions for a challenge, shoot me an email: jarredtATgmailDOTcom.]
