Kilauea Iki Crater?

Not Mauna Loa GPS but technically this location is part of that landform.

Spot on MickyB, Kilauea Iki Crater it is (in it and overlooking it). I spent most of a longish day on Kilauea by myself just wandering up and down the trails in the area, and still didn't see everything,

Thanks johnw. Must admit I had no idea until you narrowed it down to Hawaii. Made the research a lot easier.

Back to NZ. Where was I standing or what am I looking at?

Are you on Mt Vernon Lookout looking at Lyttleton Harbour?

Close enough Graham. I am looking at Lyttleton Harbour but from Mt Cavendish (top of the Gondola).

Over to you

by **Graham51** » Thu 12 Nov, 2015 2:04 pm

Thanks Micky. I did mean that but I forgot the name of the place the gondola went to and relied on Google Maps.

This one is in Asia.

Halong Bay, Vietnam? But were you walking on water?

I guess I must have been. Does that say something about me?
Your turn.

Yes, certainly does.

Ok, staying in Asia and another area of interesting geological 'rock' formation. To help it along, it's some 600+km to the NW of Halong Bay. Name the location then the geology for extra points.

Stone Forest of Kunming

Is it the stone forest near Kunming? Karst

by **GPSGuided** » Thu 12 Nov, 2015 11:41 pm

Wobbly, you got it all! It's a UNESCO heritage site these days.

Your turn.

by **wobbly** » Sat 14 Nov, 2015 8:36 am

Thanks GPS
Meanwhile somewhere in South America.

Dickson Valley, Glacier and Lake with Cerro Cubo in the background - Torres del Paine NP, Southern Chile bordering Argentina?

by **wobbly** » Tue 17 Nov, 2015 8:37 pm

Absolutely spot on JohnW. Have you been there too? :-)

over to you.

Thanks wobbly, only in my dreams

. The Patagonia region remains on my list of desires.

USA again, this is in a notable wildlife corridor in a famous NP. No background view for clues except trees and snow, so I'll accept the general location and name of the species.

: Female American black bear (Ursus americanus) near Tower Falls - Yellowstone NP, Wyoming USA

Ursus americanus,

In the western mountains.

Yes I'll pay that icefest, not an easy one to be more specific - I just like the photo. It's definitely Ursus americanus (American black bear). This one is female and she had a cub nearby. I'm somewhere near Tower Falls in Yellowstone NP. Technically probably on or close to the Absaroka Range in Wyoming, which fits the Western Mountains description.

by **icefest** » Wed 18 Nov, 2015 1:11 pm

I was hoping that description would be too vague. I don't have my photos here.

Anyone can go

by **caedencekuepper** » Mon 23 Nov, 2015 7:26 am

Righto, seeing as it's been a while, I may as well go.

Name this place from the USA:

by **GPSGuided** » Mon 23 Nov, 2015 9:41 am

So famous! McWay Falls, Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, Big Sur, CA. Did you get a chance to camp there? Or just drive through?

by **caedencekuepper** » Mon 23 Nov, 2015 10:12 am

Yep, didn't think that would take very long!
We didn't get to stay there very long unfortunately, just passing through. Beautiful spot, though.

by **GPSGuided** » Mon 23 Nov, 2015 6:24 pm

That's a shame. I've done all 3 ways of going b/n SF and LA and have to say Route 1 was a fun drive, followed by 5. 101 was a bit of neither here nor there. And with your prompting, I've got the spot flagged for a future trek or camp.

In the meantime, I'm a bit caught on various things and won't be able to get to my photos. I invite someone who hasn't participated to jump right in and test the group, or anybody if no one forthcoming.

by **Graham51** » Wed 25 Nov, 2015 4:15 pm

Let's kick start with an easy one from USA. What park was I in?

by **caedencekuepper** » Wed 25 Nov, 2015 6:45 pm

Yosemite National Park

by **Graham51** » Wed 25 Nov, 2015 7:11 pm

caedencekuepper wrote:Yosemite National Park

That's right, looking at Half Dome. I can't remember exactly where I was when I took the photo.

by **caedencekuepper** » Thu 26 Nov, 2015 5:17 am

Thanks Graham.

Don't have anything on me at the moment, anyone can go.

by **eggs** » Mon 30 Nov, 2015 10:28 am

Something to keep it going - Europe - name the lake

: The Matterhorn from Stellisee - part of a walk from Blauherd to Sunnegga, Zermatt, Switzerland

by **Hermione** » Mon 30 Nov, 2015 1:15 pm

Riffel lake looking towards the Matterhorn ?

by **eggs** » Mon 30 Nov, 2015 1:34 pm

Matterhorn is a given - but the ridge with Riffel on it is on LHS in the photo...

From Lake Stellisse?
