Ideas for a Geo Spacial Project

I spent some time recently messing around with Google Earth, a program that allows you to see and navigate the world via satillite photos and three dimensional renderings. I started out at home in the Bay Area and traveled south through the Americas down to Antarctica and to the edge of the Google world, a gray area (since the online program won't let you circumvent the poles). Using the hand tool, I moved across this border to the east for some time and then started moving north again, hitting random Pacific islands, then through South Africa up through the Middle East and into the north of Russia ending at a secluded port town and forest reserve. At any rate, my idea for a tour is to find out alittle something about these remote locations and build a Google Earth trip around them. I'll post locations as I find them...
