Google Earth Guessing Game

This site will bring you to a random spot on google earth and the challenge is to guess where in the world you are. There are many strategies you can use to figure out where you are. A common one is street signs if you can find them, but if you do not recognize the language or are not near any landmarks, the physical geography of the location can be a helpful tool to narrow down where you might be. For example, if you recognize french on a street sign but cannot read it, and there is snowy or mountainous terrain, you might be able to guess that you are in the Alps or maybe Quebec. It is really interesting to see different parts of the world up close that nobody would ever really visit. Also having taken this course, you will have new tools to help figure out where you are.
