Sailing in a nuclear submarine around the World has to be a nice experience, but surfacing through the ice at the North Pole has to be the most expected stopover. Look at this photo from USS Boise.

If you wonder about the view under the ice, you can enjoy this one from USS Alexandria:

Indeed, we […]

Many people have asked me what is the most photographed place of the world at Panoramio. I can’t check the whole planet, but after some searches I believe that Saint Peter Square in Rome is the place where more people have mapped photos. The second place is Tour Eiffel, followed very closely by Piazza San […]

Kamchatka is 1,200 kilometer long peninsula in the Russian Far East. Containing around 160 volcanoes, 29 of them still active, the peninsula has perhaps the highest density of volcanoes and associated volcanic phenomena in the world. In the center of Kamchatka is Eurasia’s only Geyser Valley. The highest volcano in Kamchatka is Klyuchevskaya Sopka (4,750 […]

The Mount Saint Michel is a mythical and mystical place, a small rocky island in Normandy (France) just at one kilometre from the north coast.

Mount Saint Michel is an island just half of the time. In ancient times was connected to the land only via a natural sand bridge which was covered by the […]

This is one of these places that looks stupefying on the satellite image. Laguna Verde (green lake), on the left at the mini-panoramio below, gets green colored everyday between 12-14:00 hours. Despite the colour of both lakes looks pretty the same in the satellite photo, the one on the right is called Laguna Blanca (white […]

Jimmy Kang collected photos of Buddha’s sculptures in South-Eastearn Asia and placed them at Panoramio’s map. See the result at this mini-panoramio and his explanation below:

By Jimmy Kan in Panoramio’s forum
I have been to many countries in South East Asia visiting predominantly temples and noticed that the Buddha images in each country are made differently. […]

Since yesterday Panoramio is full translated to Korean thanks to Sungbong Cho. I believe the translation will increase very much the photos located Korea.
Unfortunately there are almost no photos from isolated North Korea, “the world’s worst Internet black hole”, according Reporters without borders. Internet use is completely forbidden there, only a few officials are […]

Wow! That’s was my first impression when I saw the satellite photo from Ayers Rock / Uluru, a red sandstone rock formation from central Australia. The rock is 346 metres high and has a perimeter of 8 km.

Ayers Rock appears to change colour around the day and year, as you can see in the […]

In Panoramio you can watch places through common people’s photos, not only typical postcards that always look artificial because of its perfection.
That’s impossible for Lofoten. Absolutely every single photo you take there looks unavoidably like a perfect post card. The nature there is so extremely beautiful there that you have no chance, but […]

Sooner or later this was going to happen, after all that’s what geolocation is about.
