Google earth coordinates. Unusual places on Google maps

Google Maps is the most popular mapping service that was developed in 2005. But we will not delve into the history of its creation, advantages, etc. We'll talk about what they are secret places in Google Maps. Interested? Then read this article.

Google Maps - what is it?

As you may have already understood, in this article we will look at secret places in Google Maps. But first, for those who are not in the know, it’s worth briefly explaining what Google Maps is. Essentially, this is a map that covers the entire Earth (for those for whom this is not enough, you can additionally look at the map of Mars and the Moon). Thanks to Google's high-tech satellites, this map very accurately and clearly displays even the most remote corners of the planet.

But, perhaps, let's return to our sheep. Want to know where the secret places are in Google Maps? Read this article!

As you know, Google employs some very funny people. Developers are constantly adding some features, Easter eggs, and secrets to their software. For example, did you know that if you type the phrase “Google gravity” into the Google search bar and open the first link, you can observe how it affects the links, icons and pages of your browser.

And this is just one of thousands of examples. Google developers constantly insert some funny features into their creations. The mapping service from this company was no exception. The developers have also added so-called secret places to Google Maps. secret and interesting locations that are marked on the map. In this article we will talk about how to find them.

Secret places in Google Maps: coordinates and their descriptions

Well, let's not drag our feet and let's jump right in. Below we look at the strangest places on Google Maps.

By entering coordinates 66.266667, 179.250000, you can observe an unknown area of ​​​​Siberia, located near Alaska. What's there? This question excites the minds of many Russian residents.

By entering the coordinates 37.7908, 122.3229 into Google Maps, you can observe a real plane crash. The map shows a plane broken in two. It is not known for certain whether this is a real disaster or an ordinary production.

At coordinates 36.949346,122.065383 you can see a skeleton of quite impressive size. It’s creepy to even imagine what animal these bones belong to.

If you're a conspiracy buff, this next location is sure to pique your interest. By entering the coordinates 32.664162, 111.487119, you can see the secret BBC base, which is located in the United States of America. It is not known for certain what they are doing at this base, but if you wish, you can find a lot of the most fantastic theories on this matter.

By typing 54 28"6.32", 64 47"48.20" into the coordinate line, you can see a rather interesting picture. At this location, the inscription “Lenin 100 years”, which consists of trees, is clearly visible.

Sci-Fi lovers should type 19 56"56.76"S, 69 38"2.08"W into Google Maps. At these coordinates there is a drawing that strongly resembles an alien. Is this really the work of an extraterrestrial civilization?

Well, since this is the case, let’s not stray too far from the topic of aliens. At coordinates 45.70333,21.301831 you can see a real UFO hiding among the trees.

By entering the coordinates 45.408166, 123.008118, you can see the plane “parked” in the middle of the trees.

Remember how, as a child, playing on the beach with a shovel and a bucket, our parents told us something like: “Wow, what a deep hole, just a little more, and you’ll dig all the way to China!” We took this as a joke, but apparently it was a very real warning. Don’t believe me? Then enter the coordinates 38.85878007241521,111.6031789407134 in Google Maps and see a giant hole right in the middle of China!

At coordinates 44 14"39.45", 7 46"10.32" you can see a huge pink hare. It’s scary to imagine the “little” girl who played with him.

We've all probably heard and read about the notorious Area 52. By typing the coordinates 37.401437, 116.86773 into Google Maps, you can also look at this top-secret base.

Did Google Maps help you solve a murder?

There is also one interesting story, which deserves special attention. At coordinates 52.376552, 5.198308 you can see the reservoir of the city of Almer. Pier, trees, beautiful landscape- everything would be fine if not for one detail. In the photo you can see a man dragging a corpse to the lake. Google Satellite captured a small pier, several figures and a suspicious trail that could be mistaken for blood. But everything is not as it seems at first glance. In fact, there was no murder.

As one reputable publishing house later found out, the card depicted the retriever Rama, who went for a walk with his owner Jacqueline Quenen. The dog simply jumped into the water and then ran to its owner, who was standing on a wooden pier. The frame left behind a wet trail, which Internet users mistook for blood.

The owner of the dog, who saw the photo on the Internet, helped shed light on this “murder.”

Türkiye, Noah's Ark

The anomaly near Mount Ararat is a geological formation unusual shape. It is located at an altitude of 4725 meters above sea level and has a length of almost 183 meters. To date, there are three main versions that explain its occurrence - it could be a geological formation, a glacier, or... the remains of Noah's Ark.
There are legends among local residents about a huge old ship on the top of a mountain near Mount Ararat. Writer Charles Berlitz in his book Lost ship Noah” cites the testimony of the Armenian Georgy Hagopyan.
Georgiy Hagopyana said that in 1905, as an 8-year-old boy, he was on Mount Ararat with his grandfather. And that they found the ark and visited inside. On the upper deck, Georgy saw a superstructure with many windows. The body of the ark was huge and hard as stone.
An interview with a former pilot was published in the American magazine New Eden in 1939 tsarist army Russia by Lieutenant Roskovitsky, who allegedly discovered an object resembling an ark back in 1916 during a reconnaissance flight. Roskovitsky reported to the tsar, and Nicholas II equipped an expedition of 150 people. It took them two weeks to reach the site. According to Roskovitsky, the ship resembled both a giant barge and a freight car, and inside there were many rooms - small and large. Moreover, the small rooms were covered with metal mesh.
But the first significant evidence of the existence of an unknown object on the top of the mountain is considered to be photographs taken by American pilots in 1949. A few years later, something resembling a ship covered with snow was seen by Turkish soldiers. The object was then photographed two more times: in 1973 by the American spy satellite Keyhole-9 and in 1976 by the reconnaissance satellite Keyhole-11. CIA workers processing satellite images in the 70s, they found it difficult to interpret the data obtained. Porcher Taylor, who worked for the CIA at the time, says the picture was quite unexpected. But he was unable to clarify what exactly was there, because the materials collected by Keyhole-9 and Keyhole-11 are still classified.

Chanquillo, Spanish Chankillo is an ancient monumental complex on the desert coast of Peru in the Casma oasis in the department of Ancash, Peru. Among the ruins are the hilltop Fort Chanquillo, the Thirteen Towers solar observatory, living quarters and public meeting areas. It is assumed that the Thirteen Towers Observatory was built in the 4th century. BC e. The area of ​​the monument is 4 square meters. km. It is assumed that it was a fortified temple.

“Mandala” is the most mysterious geoglyph of the Palpa plateau, located 30 km from the more famous Nazca plateau. In addition to it, there are many geoglyphs on the plateau; it’s a pity that they cannot be clearly seen in Google Maps (and Earth). The geoglyph “Mandala” or Estrella (i.e. “star”), as the locals call it, is definitely the most amazing of them. According to scientists, it was created in the 2nd century AD. Nazca civilization. The composition of two drawings has a size of about two hundred meters and the mystery, as you may have guessed, is how in ancient times people were able to create such a geometrically correct drawing, which is entirely visible only from a bird's eye view. There is an opinion that the geoliths of the Nazca and Palpa plateaus carry information encoded in mathematical form from their creators, be they people or someone else.

Creative approach to work – distinctive feature Google company. Even Google maps contains unusual and funny places, and much more interesting things.

Surprises await users in different parts of the world - a virtual walk around your own or a neighboring city will turn into an exciting journey if you make it with maps from a popular search engine. Let's take a walk through several secret and interesting objects right now.

Wasteland Guardian

In the late fall of 2006, Lynn Hickox was looking at Google Maps and accidentally discovered an unusual place. The woman was surprised by the similarity of the relief to the head of an Indian. It seemed that the aborigine was wearing a national headdress and had an earphone inserted into his ear.

In reality, the find turned out to be a geological formation in one of the provinces of Canada. The soils in this area are soft and clay. They for a long time- for at least a hundred years - were subject to winds and erosion, as a result of which the image appeared. What users mistake for a wired earphone is just the road to the oil rig and the oil well itself.

The dimensions of the “head” are impressive - its length and width are the same, amounting to 255 meters. Its coordinates are 50°00′38″ N. w. 110°06′48″ W. d.

Lake-heart

This amazing place can only be seen from above or on Google maps. It is located on private land in Ohio, adjacent to Columbia Station.

The heart-shaped lake is filled with clear turquoise water. Romantics and lovers are happy to pay for flights and aerial photography to admire this beauty.

The owner of the land makes good money on such air excursions.

Galeshnyak

Since we are talking about hearts, we need to remember one more interesting places on Google map, discovered in 2008. This is the Croatian island of Galeshnjak - a place of pilgrimage for lovers from all over the world.

Why is it so attractive to couples? First of all, the shape of the heart. It is symbolic that an Internet user found this amazing place on Valentine's Eve. The community instantly dubbed Galeshnyak “the island of love.”

Until then, the uninhabited part of the land became a center of tourism. The local community took advantage of the situation by organizing engagement parties at the heart center. A Moscow couple was the first to celebrate their engagement here.

Sandy

Its shape resembles a black sausage, and this island became famous when scientists officially recognized it as non-existent. First things first. Unknown island in Pacific Ocean discovered by the Australians. It was located in a northwest direction from New Caledonia and occupied an area of ​​about 60 km 2.

In 2012, a few months after the discovery of the new island, Google put it on its maps. And in November of the same year, a group of scientists went there to study Sandy in detail.

Imagine the surprise of the scientists when they saw ocean waters instead of land. in spring next year Sandy Island was officially declared a "mistake" with the explanation that Australian travelers mistook a cluster of pumice for land.

Blood Red Pond

There are not always official explanations for strange places on Google Maps. A good example- a bloody reservoir near the city of Sadr, in Iraq.

The unusual pond was discovered in 2007, its coordinates are 33.396157° N. w. and 44.486926° E. d. There were no official explanations about the red water, but unofficial versions dozens were exaggerated.

Residents said that local slaughterhouses drained animal blood into the reservoir; others explained the bloody tint to the drain as waste or bacteria living in the water. Over time, the redness disappeared - the water in the lake acquired a normal shade.

Labyrinth as an imprint

Anyone can see this amazing place if they come to Brighton, Britain. In Hove City Park there is a labyrinth designed like a fingerprint.

The walls of the building were made of limestone slabs in 2006. And Internet users found the labyrinth using Google maps.

German cross

Users noticed the swastika on Google maps in the same 2006. The building, shaped like a German cross, is operated by the US Navy.

Users were outraged by the similarity with fascist symbols and demanded clarification. The Navy command apologized for the unpleasant situation and explained that the similarities were discovered during the construction process.

A year later, work began on the installation of solar panels - in this non-standard way, the owners decided to change the shape of the building.

Overgrown ship

The ship captured satellite imagery near Sydney. The ship was moored at the mouth of the Parramatta River and was overgrown with trees. Later his story became known.

It turns out that the ship SS Ayrfield set off on its maiden voyage in 1911. It was in operation until 1972, after which it was decommissioned. The SS Ayrfield has remained motionless on the river ever since.

American planes also have a cemetery. Its coordinates are 32 08’59.96° N. w. and 110 50’09.03° E. d., area – 10 km 2. The aircraft burial ground is located at the closed US military base Davis-Monthan.

The only way to see this place is to use the service Google Earth. Several thousand decommissioned aircraft and spaceships, there are legends among them. According to unofficial data, the total value of scrap metal is estimated at $35 billion.

Desert Circles

Two spirals emanate from the center. One spiral consists of cones, the further they are from the center, the wider they are. The second spiral is recesses installed according to the same principle as cones. From above, the sculpture looks like circles. And everything would be fine if it weren’t for its location.

The sculpture is located in the Sahara - it was built by employees of TO D.A.S.T. back in 1997. They expected that in a few years, under the influence of wind and erosion, nothing would remain at the site of the composition. More than 20 years have passed, and the strange circles are still there today, clearly visible from space.

Darfur lips, kiss of the Earth – whatever they call them. Indeed, it is not every day that you come across giant lips in the middle of the desert. Their proportions are close to ideal: length – 2.5 km, width – 1 km. And even the color from above seems pink-red.

The lips are not an art object, but natural hills in the Darfur plateau in Sudan. Review and evaluate them perfect beauty only possible from the air. On the Internet, unusual hills often become the basis for jokes and witty comments.

Strange places on Google maps

One of the main and most interesting features Google programs Earth - search for any objects and places using pre-known coordinates. To do this, you need to enter the required data in the search window specially designated for this. If you are working with the program for the first time and do not know How to enter coordinates in Google Earth, then read this article and follow the steps described here step by step.

Before we begin directly entering coordinates into Google Earth, we will understand the terminology, which will greatly facilitate the process of searching and entering them. For any point on the planet, the latitude is first indicated, and then the longitude. As an example, consider the coordinates of London Big Ben. For him:

  • latitude - 51° 30" and 3" N;
  • longitude - 0°, 7" and 28" W.

Degrees (°) are indicated first, then minutes (") and seconds ("). The letter at the end (“N”, “W”, “E”, “S” or “C”, “Yu”, “Z”, “E”) is the cardinal direction (north, south, west and east, respectively). It turns out that the coordinates for London Big Ben will read like this: fifty-one degrees thirty minutes and three seconds north (N symbol) latitude (since it is always indicated first) and zero degrees, seven minutes and twenty-eight seconds west longitude .

Instructions for entering coordinates

  • Open Google Earth and wait for it to fully load (you need an Internet connection to work).
  • At the top of the screen, find the “Add” tab and select “Label” from the drop-down list.
  • You can also use hotkeys to quick access to the desired function (indicated opposite the name). For “Mark” this is a simultaneous pressing of the “CTRL”, “Shift” and “P” buttons (English layout).

Looking at photographs of our planet taken from space, you can find many intriguing and sometimes inexplicable things, especially if you use your imagination while viewing.

The AdMe.ru publication collected mysterious objects and places that users have discovered on Google Maps.

Wasteland Guardian

In November 2006, Lynn Hickox discovered on Google Maps a geological formation located in the Canadian province of Alberta that resembled a Native American head with an earphone in its ear. This image appeared as a result of long-term soil erosion, and the wire from the earphone and ear is the road leading to the oil rig, and the derrick itself.

Blood Lake in Iraq

In 2007, near the Iraqi city of Sadr, it was discovered blood red lake. Versions of the origin of the anomaly were very different - from Wastewater to waste from a nearby slaughterhouse. But the reason for this color of water has never been established. Today the lake looks the same as the others.

Heart shaped island

Galeshnyak Island , belonging to Croatia, was discovered on satellite maps in 2009. The island quickly became popular, not only on the Internet, but also among travelers - the previously uninhabited part of the land turned into a place of pilgrimage for lovers from all over the world.

Maze shaped like a fingerprint

A labyrinth in the shape of a human fingerprint, made of limestone tiles, is located in Hove Park in Brighton, UK. It was created in 2006 from a sketch by artist Chris Drury.

"Murder scene" on a lake in Almere, the Netherlands

A satellite image taken in 2009 in the Netherlands was discovered by one of the Reddit users. The scene seemed similar to a murder, and there was a heated discussion on the site about what it really was.

However, no bloody crime was recorded in this photo. Almere resident Jacqueline Quenen identified the cruel “killer” as her golden retriever, who, according to her, loves to swim. And what was mistaken for traces of blood was actually just water that had drained from the dog’s fur.

Building in the shape of a swastika

The building, shaped like a swastika, belongs to the US Navy, it was spotted Google users in 2006 year. The Navy command stated that the resemblance to this figure was discovered only at the construction stage, when nothing could be changed.

In 2007 $600 thousand was allocated to change the landscape and install solar panels in such a way that they hide the shape of the building. As of 2017, thanks to solar panels, the building no longer resembles a Nazi symbol.

People in dove masks

This street photo was taken in the Japanese town of Musashino in March 2013. This “composition” was built specifically - by the users and the site team Daily Portal Z, having learned that the streets would be photographed for Google, decided to immortalize herself on the map.

Ship overgrown with trees

This abandoned and tree-covered ship was captured by satellite on the Parramatta River near Sydney, Australia. The ship called SS Ayrfield was launched in 1911. It was decommissioned in 1972, and since then the ship has been moored at the mouth of the river.

UFO in Romania

An object similar in shape to a UFO from science fiction films was discovered on one of the abandoned farms near the Romanian city of Timisoara. The discovery gave rise to a lot of rumors about a visit to Earth by an alien ship. In fact, a flying saucer is abandoned water pump, which previously supplied Timisoara with water.

Desert Breath

Strange circles in the Sahara Desert were created in 1997 by the hands of people who are members of the creative association D.A.S.T. The sculpture is made of two spirals emanating from the center, one of which is created from cones that expand as they move away from the beginning, and the second is created from recesses constructed according to the same principle.

According to the creators, the spiral should disappear over time under the influence of erosion. However, even now, 20 years later, it is clearly visible even from space.

Military aircraft cemetery

Davis-Montain Air Baseis located near the city of Tucson in the USA and is perhaps the largest aircraft preservation site in the world - about 4,400 aircraft and 40 spacecraft are laid up here. Every year about 400 pieces of equipment arrive here and the same number are sold or destroyed.

Strange creature from Loch Ness

Jason Cook, 25, was looking at satellite images of Loch Ness when he noticed a creature swimming in its waters. And although there is no reliable evidence of the existence of the famous monster, many believed that it was the Google satellite that captured it.
