Game: Where-is-it? (international)

[johnw]

Mount Otemanu French Polynesia.

Correct, on Bora Bora.

[sandym]

Should be a quick one. USA.

[sandym]

West coast

[Graham51]

My research suggests it’s Peter Iredale shipwreck, Fort Stevens, Oregon.

[sandym]

Yep.

[Graham51]

Sorry, I was away for the weekend.
Where was I in Asia when I took this photo?

Annapurna Base Camp? I remember a river of glacial moraine a bit like that.

[Graham51]

Not Annapurna base camp.

[Graham51]

Right country, wrong base camp.

[sandym]

Everest base camp and amazing you got all the tents out of the photo.

[Graham51]

Yes, it was at Everest Base Camp. No tents in October, just hordes of people who must have stepped aside for me.

[sandym]

Sorry for the delay.

Canada, the name of the falls seen, in this photo, from an unusual viewpoint, but the falls are quite well known.

[johnw]

No idea, but this seems to have a rock climbing route on it that looks to get to a similar position - Takakkaw Falls, Yoho NP BC.

Edit: This guy confirms my suspicions:

Well done JohnW. Exactly correct! Over to you.

[johnw]

The wonders of google images, and some persistence. I assume you climbed it?
USA:

Glacier Bowl on Mt Alyeska, Chugach National Forest via Girdwood, Alaska USA

Yes, the crux is getting past the slow parties.

Are you in the Sierra's?

Although I feel one would have to dig a crevasse first on that remnant to fall in one.

You'd have no problem passing me. I'd be standing at the bottom admiring the view.
A long way from the Sierras. I did walk a bit further in after I saw MTBs going down there.
There are a few big cracks in it when you get closer.

[johnw]

A long way north.

[sandym]

Hm, chossy rock, tiny, remnant glacier, way north of the Sierras, are you in Alaska? Although that is a teeny, tiny glacier for Alaska.

[sandym]

OK, scratch that guess and ask "are you in Hawaii?"

[johnw]

Definitely not.

I am in Alaska. I did see a lot of magnificent glaciers there, this one is probably an exception.
Probably a bit tough without more detail. Here is a shot I took about 15 mins earlier on the trail, looking to my left.
Please excuse the smoky view, there were some major fires in the area at the time:

Well that's the Alyeska Resort, just out of Anchorage I think.

There's some glacier remnants scattered around the ski field. Are you up there ?

Thanks john. Next. Europe

[GregR]

seems nobody has a clue so I'll just guess Dubrovnik to get the game up the top of the page.

A few hundred km SE of there. This place has interesting (to me) byzantine connections

Last guess for the evening...Durres Albania.

a long way further

[Tyreless]

Narrowing it down…. Somewhere on Crete?

Closer, but too far
