10 Interesting Sights on Google Maps

Google Maps is a wonderful way to find any location you’re interested in. It allows you to explore the world entirely from your own screen. One moment you can be in California, and with the simple touch of a button, you can then find yourself in Egypt! You can find almost anything on Google Maps, including some pretty interesting sights, such as land art or even ship ruins in the middle of the ocean. The possibilities are (almost) entirely limitless with Google Maps. With the 360 degree street view feature, satellite imagery, and aerial photography functions, you can find just about anything in the world. Here are 10 interesting locations and sights found on Google Maps, with coordinates provided:

• Human-Shaped Lake: (AKA Lagoa Humanóide) Is located in Langanca, São Paulo, Brazil.

But actually, this lake was artificially made to look like a giant human on purpose. Coordinates: -21.805269, -49.090058
