ps: no peeking at the link as I have not bothered changing it but linked it directly
I have seen this... somewhere, and by the size and splendor of it I should be able to place it. I am guessing it is in India, judging by the design and what looks like white marble, have to think some more
you are close (marble + India) but that architecture is not exactly the classic Indian/Moghul designs. I have been to this place and it does look magnificient but it was closed for renovations that day :(
looking for a name and/or location (which should be easier, infact the name is the easiest to "guess" ;) )
Perhaps the architect was a sahib.:pQuote:

right on both counts.
If it is India I am guessing Victorian? Maybe it is a monument to Queen Victoria?
maybe I should give it to you.
It is indeed the "Victoria Memorial Hall" built after Queen Victoria died. Location?
This anfield is really impossible........:angryfire:
I bet he knows even the name of my street. :p
Don't have the faintest idea where it is, near Mumbai?Quote:

I don't remember the name, but it's in the middle of Antarctica.

At least nine people are dead after 14 years worth of rain caused severe flooding in what is known for being the driest location in the world.*
Right area, but not really in the middle of AntatcticaQuote:

This sounds like a job for some meddling kids in a hideously painted van.
It's been a while since I read about it. Maybe not the middle, but on a plateau perhaps? It doesn't snow at all there though it's as frigid as any other place on the continent.Quote:

Being I couldn't for the life of me remember any of the names had I seen them, I'm going to kill this question quickly by saying Russia is the coldest inhabited place on earth. My reasoning being it's most likely some little tiny village or something in Russia, but it would still be Russia, so I'm right! :laugh:Quote:

You need to do a little better than that. While it's true the answer is a place in Russia, there are lots of other cold places like Alaska, Finland, Greenland, etc. At least give me an area of Russia.Quote:

I saw this somewhere recently...stalagtites in ...? Chile?
Yeah, I've seen that before too. Largest underground crystals of some kind. Mexico?
Read about this about a week ago. It's one of the most dangerous places on earth. The cave of crystals in Chihuahua, Mexico.
It is the Cave of Crystals in Chch Mexico. :) Awesome place
Text deleted as I was a couple of pages behind.
Those crystals are incredible!
