Michael Geschlecht Posted May 9, 2011 Share #21 Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello Jaap, Correct answer removed ;) Best regards, Michael Edited May 9, 2011 by jaapv Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Hi Michael Geschlecht, Take a look here The world from above - Game Thread. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share #22 Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) Now, Michael, you request me to revive the thread, and then stop it dead in its tracks again in the next post. If you give the correct answer you are obliged to post the next image. So if you do not have a next image, you cannot answer. The challenge is now to name the two peaks and the inernational airport that serves the mountain. And you, Michael, are forbidden to answer.

stuny Posted May 9, 2011 Share #23 Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) As a starting place, this looks volcanic, though inactive. Edited May 10, 2011 by stuny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquinius Posted May 9, 2011 Share #24 Posted May 9, 2011 Well, at least it's not Terschelling (an island just north of Holland, highest "peak" 4.0 meters or some such) And I'm not going to answer either, as I have HUNDREDS of photos from the air, but almost NONE with a Leica. Otherwise I would've jumped in, no worries. With some luck, this is going to be Jaap's showcase for the next year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share #25 Posted May 9, 2011 Good start, Stuart. It is an extinct volcano. It is not the highest volcano in the world, but it does have the highest prominence by far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spylaw4 Posted May 10, 2011 Share #27 Posted May 10, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have at least a couple or three around somewhere, but I don't usually travel in window seats!

jaapv Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share #28 Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) Yes - it is. The second highest volcano in the world. What intl. airport and the names of the two peaks? Och- I'll skip that one - over to you Brian! Dig up a shot! Btw Arusha intl. (JRO) Uhuru Peak Mawenzi Peak Edited May 10, 2011 by jaapv Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted May 10, 2011 Share #29 Posted May 10, 2011 I'll dig something up later this evening - be patient! Given that you fly to Africa regularly Jaap, I reckoned it was a good guess! But the rest of the info - Google would have had to provide! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcoombs Posted May 11, 2011 Share #32 Posted May 11, 2011 That looks like you're over the southern Alps, having left Nice airport. Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted May 11, 2011 Share #33 Posted May 11, 2011 Sorry Doug, wrong range and hence wrong airport. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share #34 Posted May 11, 2011 I never realized it had two peaks ... nice. Actually, it even has three, but as the third one, Shira Peak at about 3900 meters is about 2000 meters lower than the other two, it is rarely mentioned. It is a nice idea to climb that one and be able to say you have climbed Kilimanjaro when 5985 meters without oxygen is a bit too much to contemplate.
