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...

An end to the ping-pong game, Canada-Holland! Felix picked the ball for a new service.
The ball was caught at Burning Mountain, NSW in Australia where a coal seam has been burning for at least 5,500 years.

Find the next one, #539 and you 'll be the happy one to send the rest on a search!

Again interesting knowledge gained thanks to Andrew, the answer to #536 took me to Medicin Lake in Canada where the Maligne River disappears underground.

The next one is a bit odd, have a nice search on this one!

By the way: Schott rule applied!

WoGE #534 by Andrew Giles was not an easy search, a long hunt through the permafrost on the northern hemisphere. It ended up in the area of Lake Husky in the Northwest Territories of Canada where a valley is waiting to be flooded caused by a permafrost thaw.

The next one is up to you to find....

On to the next one. Please don't think Andrew and I are conspiring. ;-) The search was relatively easy considering the line pattern of the rocks.

The next one does't look that dry and it isn't. I believe that the geological significance of my last contest was that significant. I know that the following is more significant. Good luck on your search!
