Cannibals' Island

These are Andaman Islands, governed by India.
Left to Andaman, there's an Island known as 'North Sentinel Island', governed not bu India, but cannibals.

You heard it right.

A group of indigenous people, the Sentinelese, live on North Sentinel Island. Their population is estimated to range from 50 to 500 individuals. The Sentinelese reject any contact with other people, and are among the last people to remain virtually untouched by modern civilisation.The population faces the potential threats of infectious diseases to which they have no immunity, as well as violence from intruders. The Indian government has thus declared the entire island, which is approximately the size of Manhattan, and its surrounding waters extending 3 nautical miles (5.6 kilometres) from the island, to be an exclusion zone.

'Iranian Land' within Iran

This place is situated near Parand in Iran,situated 35 km south-west from Tehran

Okay, we do know that the land in the heart of Iran is 'Iranian' one and not Somalian. I hope that the surrounding land is Iranian too :P

Welcome post

Hello everyone. Being a techie, a cartographer, Geography lover and adventurer, I just love to 'have a look' at so many places 'from above' using Google Maps, OpenStreet Maps, etc. So many times I end up discovering so many interesting places, satellite imagery of regions, natural wonders, manmade wonders as well as sometimes interesting and worth sharing.
I would love to share the same with others who find Satellite imagery interesting.
