Apparently Canada is held together with Scotch tape. Well, who would have thought that!

Many thanks to Ben Singleton and Andrew McC.

Finally! We have proof that Google is hiding things from us in Alaska, Mexico and er… New Jersey. Hmmm. Anyway, it’s a conspiracy I tell you!

Firstly stretching over a large part of Alaska, all the way into the Yukon territory, is this gargantuan hole in the landscape. Interesting shape too…

Next we leap to the other side of the country for a very strangely-shaped hole West of El Paso. See the odd in-road of detail at the bottom-left corner of the rectangle? Weird.

While we’re down in Mexico, look at this super-cool hole which appears to be eating the surrounding landscape. Good lord!

Another country-wide leap and we’re somewhere off the coast of New Jersey, where this unsuspecting little boat is about to steer itself straight into the next episode of Lost!

However, could this incredibly exciting conspiracy theory simply be something much mre mundane..?

Muchos gracias to Eder Chiunti, Dan Karran, Lurlock, JoakimE and Ian.

Lots of things to see here in Yellowstone National Park, it’s just a pity we can’t see any of the grizzly bears, wolves, or free-ranging herds of bison and elk!

First up is the world famous Old Faithful Geyser, it’s in the middle the concentric walkways you can see in our thumbnail. Old Faithful was so-named because of the reliability of its eruptions, which are currently happening about every 65 minutes, unfortunately it’s not erupting in our picture. Of the 1000 or so geysers in the world, about half of these are in Yellowstone. If you look closely on the walkway, I think you can actually see people watching for an eruption.

Next up are these fantastic waterfalls at the mouth of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, whose yellow-coloured stones gave the park its name.

Finally we have the awesome Grand Prismatic Spring which is the largest hot spring in the United States, and the range is colour shown here is incredible. The blue-white pool to the Northeast is Excelsior Geyser, although it’s been dormant since 1990.

The colours in the spring are produced by different species of thermophilic bacteria that live in the narrow temperature ranges formed as the waters of the hot spring naturally cool farther from the heat source. The reddish bacteria at the outer edge survive in the coolest water with the yellowish and greenish bacteria living in progressively hotter water. The water in the central blue area of the spring is too hot to support any of the bacteria.

Lots and lots more information about Yellowstone National Park is available on Wikipedia, and the official Yellowstone site even has a webcam of Old Faithful .

Following on from our previously posted double bridge and missed bridge, Google Sightseeing is proud to present, the double missed bridge!

Someone really needs to fire those engineers…

Thanks to alien_alan.

This is the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, which is the replacement for the original one which famously collapsed on film in 1940 (the link is to the movie on Wikipedia in ogg format, there’s loads of statistics there too).

What’s really cool is the incredible angle on the West part of the bridge! Compare it to the East side, pretty crazy image huh? Cool shadow too.

Also, just to the West is the Tacoma Narrows Airport, which has some great large type, some cool looking planes, and should be well known to any Microsoft Flight Simulator lovers out there

Thanks to Scott Foster and Ivan M.
