A Huge Patch of Completely Empty Ocean

Friday, 16th February 2007 by Alex

Whilst passing over the Atlantic, it seems the satellite has managed to capture an image of a huge patch of completely empty ocean! Yes, this high-resolution patch right in the middle of the Atlantic contains absolutely nothing.

Except a small cloud.

And its shadow of course.

Hmm. Okay, this is a bit of a non-post, but what did Google think they were going to find when they purchased this image?

Thanks to Tim, Vincent Ursem and adrian.
