Where on Google Earth #547
In WoGE #546 Felix posted a to geologists easy location. However, it seemed that the geologists were still in a deep wintersleep as a non geologist had to solve the location.
The lava field south east to La Alumbrera, a cinder cone on the Antofagasta de la Sierra, was the right answer that cost me hours of searching.
The next one is a lot easier I guess...

In WoGE #544 Andrew took us to another interesting location in Canada. It seems to me he likes all the geologists to visit his beloved country. Despite the fact that I am not a geologist, he makes it tempting for me to visit his country, but there are so many places in the world that I would have liked to visit. The Athabasca Sand Dunes in Saskatchewan were the desired features to be mentioned in his contest for #544.
The Dunes were formed about 8000 years ago, formed near the end of the Last Glacial period. The sand, washed by meltwater from receding glaciers, emerged when Lake Athabasca declined to its current level.

#540 was a real hard nut! Tracking through valleys across South America and Nepal with the areas further up north I finally ended up in North America to find the Pyramid Fault which Felix added to my geological interest.
Where the next challenge will bring you, I am afraid you will have to tell me the real significance. I'm sure you'll know more of it than I do. To me it is significant but those are the words of a layman of course...
