The Face of Mother Earth
Tuesday, 7th November 2006 by Alex Turnbull
A poster over at the keyhole forums has discovered what does look remarkably like a kilometre-wide pair of rather luscious-looking female lips. If this were the face of Mother Earth, I wonder where the rest of her features are?
The "lips" are actually in the Sudanese region of West Darfur, site of much of the ongoing Darfur conflict, and although at first they appear to be formed by some sort of small rocky canyon, the terrain data on Google Earth claims otherwise. At over 40 metres high, you could argue these lips were actually pouting.

Almost looks like another pair of lips ive seen º¿º
If you look upside down it doesn’t look like a canyon but rather like a hill
Agreed, Negrodomas.
Negrodomas, good to see that this was the first thought of the group.
It looks good in 3D on GoogleEarth.
Hey.. maybe there should be a body parts cattegory too.
If you zoom out you can see eyes, or…. bellybuttons? -_-‘
yes, i think the first question that everyone thought is “what kind of lips? XD”
Turn it 90 degrees – then “what kind of lips” becomes apparent,
Well of course you don’t understand the image just from the thumbnail.
You need to zoom out fully to understand what Alex was on about:
