Why does Google Mars show a base at Yellowknife?

a reply to: NowanKenubi

I read it was made as an April's fool

Damn, I was hoping some hacker did it and might share with us his technique. Here are my candidates that, with a little photoshop cropping would be a more believable mars base.

This is the French/Italian Concordia base on Dome C. East Antarctica


Photoshop the white snow to red


This is the Belgian, Princess Elizabeth base located on Utsteinen Nunatak in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica

Yep what a great April fools joke on March 31st
on a map very very few people use. Well at least they took
it down April 2nd..Oh wait they didn't? They kept it on their
official maps ? Man they are funny..
When google does something it's usually big and obvious
like loons or objects that resemble letters in their giant
logo. You can walk around the GCP too.
Don't see the truck in the parking lot though.

So I don't think google has a base on Mars but I do think
information on how quickly people can spot things is of interest
to them. And 2 months is the answer.

lies, it's still there, today, right now. I'm looking at it. Here is the ability to zoom in on it slowly so you don't lose it;

FFS - is this what its come to ?

Sometimes it happens. I for one would rather have too much info to sift through than not enough!
