[Geysers] Google Earth -- WOW

[David Schwarz]

   Interesting.  Does anyone know the source of the names that appear when
you zoom in?  Are they from the GIS project?  Some of them are wackily out
of place.  The Turquoise Pool (Midway GB) label, for instance, is in the
middle of Tangled Creek due west of the Fountain Group, several miles out of
place.  The Fountain Group label is over the Kaleidoscope Group.  Three
Sisters seems to be on Old Faithful's formation.  Chinaman Spring is out in
the woods between Kepler Cascades and Fern Cascades (but Chinese Spring is,
oddly enough, roughly where it belongs)...  And so on.

   There are also a couple of names I don't recognize at all.  South Eastern
Group Springs (apparently Pipeline Meadows)?

   They do seem to have done well with everything that isn't a thermal
feature (lakes, waterfalls, overlooks, etc.).

   The 3D effect in the Canyon below Lower Falls is pretty impressive.  The
Tetons are a nice flyover, too.
