A YouTube explorer has revealed what it was like to travel to a geological structure “on Google Earth that no one has seen before”.
While searching Google Maps, a YouTuber going through the “POV channel” came across “one of the weirdest” geological structures he’s “ever found on Google Earth” and, thinking it’s “hiding something,” the explorer decided to just stay behind his laptop, but go to the place to see for yourself.
In a video uploaded to his platform in December 2023, the YouTuber reveals that the only way to reach the strange structure is “over several miles of complex and treacherous petrified sand dunes”.
“I wasn’t sure if I would make it or what I would find,” he continues. “But in the end I left this place completely exhausted and with more questions than answers.
But how did the trip actually go and did the building turn out to be the “fortress with holes” that the YouTuber predicted?

The explorer takes his followers on a journey together with his faithful companion – an extremely cute dog.
And it doesn’t take long to run into various obstacles, from large rocks blocking the way to “huge masses of huge petrified sand dunes”.
Fortunately, by staying on top of the dunes, the explorer avoids the rocky slopes or small canyons below, but the “steep” terrain doesn’t make the trip much easier.
The YouTuber comes across “really cool lines in the sandstone” that are “S” shaped before finally getting closer and closer to the geological structure he spotted on Google Earth, noting that it’s “really, much bigger” than he originally expected her. being.

The explorer continues: “When I looked at Google Maps, I thought, ‘Oh, you know, maybe it’s the size of a big house’. No, it’s a huge massive chunk of sandstone sticking out of the ground.”
The YouTuber says he’s “amazed” that he wasn’t forced to “retreat at all” and was definitely “lucky” to choose the path he did, which he notes “almost never happens.”
When he gets up and into the structure, he goes through a pretty cool archway that leads to a stunning bay-like structure where the sun creeps in.
He decides, “Wow. This is the first place we’ve checked, and I’m kind of blown away right now. This really makes me excited for what might be around the corner.”
The explorer then comes across a footprint on the ground that he believes belongs to a dinosaur with a “clear three-character indentation” next to one of the “honeycomb structures”. [he] saw from heaven’.
He decides, “Wow.”
And it doesn’t take long for people to flood in awe of the post.
One user said: “Freaking love your channel man. I live in the southern US and do a lot of google earth for my hunting. Occasionally I’ll come across something odd and check it out – but it’s pretty rare. to family responsibilities and time constraints I really do I like the concept of what’s going on here and it makes me want to go more often and do the same thing.”
And another wrote: “Obviously the vast majority of people never go to places like this. So I applaud you for taking us to sights we would never have seen otherwise. Thank you and your dog… Thumbs up!”
