Google Earth is a pretty incredible tool. Even if you are not using it for navigation, you can discover many interesting places from around the world through it. A geologist, Will, who goes under the nickname geologistmakesthebedrock, has been collecting and sharing some really cool places he found from this wonderful program. Many of those places are man-made structures while several others are surreal-looking land formations. Here, we have shared some of his best finds. From beautiful volcanoes to stunning islands, these places look so fascinating on Google Earth. Take a look.
