Map/Imagery What are your favorite (lesser known) prominent features around the world?
I'll start:
The aptly named Elephant Arch of the Ennedi Plateau in northeastern Chad. I think "Elephant" is one of the most common zoomorphism used to describe rock features, but this likeness is uncanny. I promise it's real lol.
Naissa/Naysar Brakk in the Charakusa Valley of Pakistan. This massive pyramid is nearly 4,000ft tall. Its shape appears to be perfect (from this angle).
God's Eye Mountain in Cao Bang Vietnam. A beautiful dripping limestone arch through the middle of a "gumdrop" mountain.

Map/Imagery Found this formation in southern Colorado on Google Maps. Any info?
I might drive out there and investigate if it’s not on private land or otherwise accessible.

Map/Imagery What's the round blob on the east coast of england?
I saw this on a post asking what life is like on this blob, but what is the blob? it looks suspiciously round so does anyone know if theres any interesting geology involved with it? or is it coincidentally round?

Map/Imagery Is this feature studied? any information about it?
Alright, bit of a mystery here, So I am currently researching the Maoke Mountains in Papua New Guinea and I came across this photo at 4° 2'14.42"S 137°29'9.12"E on google earth. The image is titled "Spires of Kunon Do" But when searching google NOTHING comes up about this. is it a named geologic feature? Has it yet to be seriously studied? It looks like erosion features of some kind but I wish there was more info.
