Found this abandoned aircraft while exploring Google Earth in the Arctic.
It’s a Curtiss C-46 Commando sitting completely isolated out there.

Google Earth apparently caught this plane in mid-flight.39.114583, -106.364639
I was exploring the extremely remote St Brandon Reef and found this shipwreck at:
-16.8309, 59.4756
What's interesting is the historical imagery. The wreck is clearly visible in older imagery and is still recognizable in 2020, but from around 2021 onward it starts breaking apart.
By July 2025, only a much smaller portion of it appears to remain.
The wreck has apparently been visible in Google Earth imagery since at least 2005, but its exact date of loss and identity aren't clear.
I put together the historical images to show how it changed over time.
Does anyone know the story behind this vessel?

Came across this single aircraft while exploring remote Alaska on Google Earth.
It's been sitting out here in the middle of nowhere for decades. The aircraft has a really unusual twin-boom design, which makes it look especially strange from satellite imagery.
Does anyone know the story behind this plane?
I was exploring Google Earth and came across this at:
70.059653, 150.196242
It appears to be a large, isolated object in an extremely remote part of Siberia, with seemingly nothing around it for miles.
Does anyone know what this is?
Was randomly zooming into the Lena River Delta on Google Earth and thought my screen was glitching—it looks more like bacteria under a microscope than actual terrain. Apparently, centuries of fierce Arctic winds carve out the melting permafrost along the exact same diagonal axis, giving thousands of these thaw lakes their identical shape. 👽🦠
Proof that even the Earth leaves you on "read" and waits for a high five in the middle of nowhere. Just punch in 43°42'09.32"N, 112°01'17.76"E whenever you feel like leaving a giant hanging.
I stumbled across this remote 360° photosphere while exploring the Arctic tundra of northeastern Siberia (coordinates: 67.298137° N, 169.386044° E). Located in the Bilibinsky District of Chukotka near the Anyuy Range, the view looks NNW across endless mountain ridges and permafrost valleys, hundreds of kilometers from civilization—it's wild finding ground-level imagery somewhere this isolated.
I just found a church having a chicken face 😅🤣.
