50 Unbelievable Finds from Google Earth

Google Earth is basically a globe that is available virtually. Instead of just seeing one scale, you can zoom in and out of it to see the world as you have never seen it before. It is a map and program for geographical information that shows a map of the Earth by using photos that are obtained from GIS or Geographical Information System 3D, Aerial photography, and satellite imagery. The photos are then superimposed to create the map.

While some may find maps boring, there is no doubt that everyone will enjoy the occasional oddities that can be found on Google Earth. If you have visited it before, you have probably seen places that are weird or interesting. The compilation below attempts to compile the best and most amazing finds that we think are worth to see on Google Earth.
