1. Iraq’s Bloody Lake
This blood-red lake in Iraq has led to scary rumours that it has been caused by a nearby slaughterhouse that is responsible for an insane amount of bloodshed. An official explanation has never actually been offered but sceptics believe that it is most likely the cause of sewage in the water that has turned it into this polluted colour. The jury’s still out on this one.

One fan decided to pay tribute to Oprah’s status by designing her own personalised corn maze in 2004. How touching, but seriously how much time did this person have on their hands? Still, at least their effort hasn’t gone unnoticed and has made it into the top ten of Google Earth finds.

In 2006 the Oregon State University Linux Users group designed this giant Firefox logo crop circle in a cornfield in Oregon. The huge crop circle spans 45,000 sq. ft. and was created in celebration of the Web browser’s 50 millionth download. Nice work!
9. Atlantis?
After this Google Earth find people began wondering if it was the lost city of Atlantis. Excited explorers certainly thought so (or hoped so). The grid was found off the coast of Africa and the markings are believed to be streets. The area is said to be the size of Wales. Google Earth engineers quashed the hype by announcing that the grid was actually a digital artifact created by the sonar boats collecting mapping data, but some people still believe otherwise.
