Comments on: EO’s Satellite Puzzler: July 2012 http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/blogs/earthmatters/2012/07/10/eos-satellite-puzzler-entry-2/?src=earthmatters-rss Earth is an amazing planet, and the one that matters most to us. Let’s have a conversation about it.

Your accurate observation was a stepping stone for further research. This process is what knowledge is all about, isn’t it?

I had Dudlinka in my list of 228 cities to check, but the modern imagery is very different from the image shown here. So i didn’t see the likeness – due to my limited skillz.

As a regular reader of the Landslide Blog (part of the AGU blogosphere), i remembered an entry about landslides which occurr in quarry and open pit mine.
On the left side of the EO’s image, i recognized a familiar rounded shape in a quarry that seemed to a landslide. In looked into the landslide blog, i hoped to find a image of this possible landslide to confirm my assumption and finally give the location of the area, that i did.

From shadows thats fall on oil reservoirs – photograph was taken in the northern hemisphere. From sediments near coast – it is river, not sea coast. Also there is glacial lakes specific to Siberia. Definitely there are port – many tankers and other ships are in water.

The image was acquired recently, probably this summer (June 2012), when the thawing ice opened up shipping lanes over the Arctic and ships flocked to the area.

I mean this could be anywhere on earth!! My wildest guess is- somewhere in South America.
