Where on Earth? Week 43 - Isla Negra, Chile
Where on Earth this week is the small beachside town of Isla Negra, 80km south of Valparaiso in Chile. This is one of three houses that Chilean poet and diplomat Pablo Neruda maintained in his home country. Up the road in Valpo, La Sebastiana cascades down the rugged hills ...Where on Earth? Week 43
And you thought your backyard was overgrown? This was one of three very different houses that a globe trotting Nobel Prize-winning poet maintained in his home country. Come back on Friday for the definitive answer. ...Where on Earth? Week 42: Grand Beach, Manitoba
Nobody guessed this week's Where on Earth correctly, and I must say, I'm surprised! Where are all the Canadian readers? Grand Beach on the shores of Lake Winnipeg is one of the best-known beaches in Canada, probably because of the unlikely location--golden sand is not ...Where on Earth? Week 42
This is my friend Sarah wading on a beach. Your job is to figure out which beach it is. I think this is a pretty easy one full of clues so I'm not giving any hints, and I have faith that our awesome readers will be able to figure out just where this beach is. The answer ...Where on Earth? Week 41
Here's one that should really stump you: a mural and a bust. But who is it and where can you find this strange, unexpected monument that otherwise has no connection to the city in which it's located? Figure out who the person is, and you'll figure out where the monument ...Where on Earth? Week 40: Venice, Italy
Congrats to Bubba for correctly guessing the train station above as Santa Lucia in Venice, Italy. I'm consistently amazed that our readers can guess these so quickly! (A hat tip to Ben, too, for narrowing it down to Italy.) I had this very scene burned into my memory this ...Where on Earth? Week 40
Here's a fun one! What train station was this picture taken in? Like last week's Where on Earth, if you've been here, it's easy. If you haven't, it might be a little bit tougher to pull the clues out of the picture. This is a very popular train station, however, so I can't ...Where on Earth? Week 39: Berlin Wall Memorial
Three people nailed this week's contest; Matt Rutherford, Moody 75, and Ryan Mendenhall. Mendenhall, however, was the only one to pinpoint the exact location: The Berlin Wall Memorial at Bernauer Strasse. I had the good fortune a couple of years ago to meet with the ...Where on Earth? Week 39
You've either been here, or you haven't. If you haven't been here, there is a slim chance you might nail the location of this place with a wild guess. But if you have been here, you're not likely to forget it and you'll definitely know the answer. If you think you know, ...Where on Earth? Week 38: Olomouc, Czech Republic
Congrats goes out to Gadling reader Rick Ludwig for correctly guessing the city in the picture above as Olomouc (ole-uh-moats), Czech Republic. I don't know how you guys do it! If you remember back to Wednesday, I barred one of our readers, oddsocks, from guessing this ...Where on Earth? Week 38
This week's Where on Earth could be another toughy, and I'm barring one of our loyal readers from making any guesses (oddsocks, I'm looking at you. Shh!) Everyone else: what city was this picture taken in? Here's a hint: there's an asteroid named after the town, and it's ...Where on Earth, Week 37: Irkutsk, Russia
We didn't have anyone guess the exact city this week, however, Jeff came closest with a stab at St. Petersburg, Russia. This is the right country, but about five time zones off.
The above photo was taken of a legendary location--well, legendary if you've ever played the ...Where on Earth? Week 37
I'm on a roll having stumped everyone last week with yet another photo of Georgia. Will I be as lucky this time around? I have a feeling I might make it two weeks in a row as this is most certainly a very challenging location as well. If you think you have an idea where ...Where on Earth? Week 36: Vardzia, Georgia
Wow. This is only the second time we've stumped you with Where on Earth; the first time was coincidentally within the same country of Georgia. Those who guessed Turkey came closest. The former Soviet Republic borders Turkey and naturally shares some of the same limestone ...Where on Earth? Week 36
Okay. We have a great one this week that no one is going to get. Sure, I've promised this before and have been proven wrong every time. But, this time is different. Honest! If you think you might have an idea where these caves are located, please insert your guess in the ...Where on Earth? Week 35: Landmannalaugar, Iceland
Congrats go out this week to Amanda for taking a wild guess on Iceland, and Beanie for nailing the exact location: the hot springs at Landmannalaugar, Iceland. I had the good fortune to soak in these springs a few years ago when I toured this fantastic island. There is ...Where on Earth? Week 35
Today's Where on Earth takes you to a far away, exotic locale--just as we always do.
Want to take a wild guess where, exactly, it might be? I'll give you just one hint: that water down there is warm.
So that's it. You're on your own. If you think you might know where ...Where on Earth? Week 34: Vintgar Gorge - Bled, Slovenia
Nobody correctly guessed this week's Where on Earth, but that's OK -- it was a tough one. Tom G. guessed Slovenia, but that "G" stands for "Glow" -- sorry Dad, but family members are ineligible. Where the hell is the Corvath river anyway? Vintgar Gorge is located just a ...Where on Earth? Week 34
Nature photos could be tough, but who knows? Typically you guys guess these locations within a matter of hours. There's a very good chance that this one will be no different. So give it a shot -- where on earth was this photo taken? Be as precise as possible.
...Where on Earth? Week 33: War Memorial Museum, Seoul, South Korea
Congrats go out to Johonn2 for nailing this week's contest and also for providing us some additional background information about the above statue located on the grounds of the War Memorial Museum in Seoul, South Korea. Like most memorials, this one is populated with its ...
