Where in the world is... (Answers)
April 15, 2009
So, how did you do? Don't feel bad if you couldn't identify them all, terrain is much harder to identify than imagery. However, I'm very disappointed in you geologists. ;-)
1) The formal dedication of the harbor here took place on April 10th - 44 years ago:
2) Mountains of money can be made (or lost) at the popular U.S. destination.
-- Las Vegas, NV, USA
3) Wow, the tower here does look a little bit like a fire hose.
-- Telegraph Hill / Coit tower / San Francisco, CA, USA
4) This hilly city known for its beaches, sits on what the Roman's knew as Sinus Cantabrorum: -- San Sebastian, Spain
5) If you want to get a picture of this city's Golden Triangle, you might want to try Herron Hill:

-- Pittsburgh, PA, USA
6) While this city's downtown doesn't have much in terms of elevation, the nearby Gatineau Hills have some nice hikes.
-- Ottawa, ON, Canada
7) This low lying coastal city accounts for roughly 25% of the country's population. Onnea!
-- Helsinki, Finland
8) At 87m, Mount Victoria isn't much of a mountain, but it does give you nice views of Torpedo Bay:
9) Looking for a little elevation without leaving the city? Either Bellevue Hill Park or Jackson Hill Park seem like a good choice.
-- Cincinnati, OH, USA
10) The 5km hike to Castell de Sant Miquel from this city will give you stunning views of the country side.
-- Girona, Spain
11) Even with an elevation range of over 1300 ft (~400 m), you'll be hard pressed to find any good hikes here. :-)
-- Lake Superior / Great Lakes
