We don’t realize how much of our planet we’re missing by being stuck to the ground. Luckily, Google Earth lets us get a birds-eye view of even the most unreachable corners of the world. So if you’ve never seen a meteorite crash site or the world’s largest pool from above, prepare to be enlightened.

We at Bright Side were amazed by some of the things that have been found on Google Earth and we put them all in one place to broaden your horizons.

1. A deserted cruise ship found near Antarctica

2. Hippos going for a dip in Africa

3. Called the Badlands Guardian, this is natural land feature that resembles a human head

4. “Love island” in Croatia

5. Graveyard full of decommissioned aircrafts in Arizona

6. Barringer Crater

This is a huge meteorite crash site that occurred 50,000 years ago. It’s 0.737 miles long and 560 feet deep.
