I'm not sure who built the structure in my picture, but Greenpeace has occupied this rock before and put up flags. This might be a Greenpeace structure too.

Beat me to it.:sniff:

Where is it?

Victoria Falls

what glatt said, isuzu falls, whatever.

Those are those falls in Argentina where a scene from Moonraker was shot.

Iguazú Falls

Glatt is right. Iguazu Falls more precisely.

You know what? One of my first of many google searches came up with the name Rockall but that's as far as I got.

ARGH!

I believe you, but BigV wins. He said it first.

The only reason I knew the falls is that my parents were there last week and e-mailed pictures.

Well DUH. Even I know that the basketball shot I DIDN'T make doesn't count!

:lol:

the only reason I knew the falls (and I'm using the term "knew" very loosely) is that they're featured in the Planet Earth dvd series I have. just bogglingly stunningly beautiful photography. gorgeous is a pathetic understatement. the image (obviously) stuck with me, though I lost the name in the translation.

I mentioned before that I'm reading this Ken Jennings map book. It really is mostly pretty dull, but every once in a while there is a neat footnote. Rockall was one of them, but an even better one is Ferdinandea.

Ferdinandea is a former island near Sicily. A volcano erupted in 1831 and created a new, small, island in the middle of the narrowest part of the Mediterranean Sea. It immediately became a popular tourist destination and caused an international feud between 4 different nations who all tried to claim the new territory. But after only a few months, it crumbled back into the sea, ending all disputes. All disputes until 1986, that is, when the US bombed the underwater island because we thought it was a Libyan submarine. Seriously.

I would have used Ferdinandea as a "where is it?" but it doesn't exist and there are no photos.

Not true! 1nf1n1te monkey posted the pitchur a while back in post #254!
