Google are snooping on the whole world, and it's brilliant. Via map searching on google you can find satellite images of anywhere around the world, and you can spend hours doing your own snooping.
Anyway, while hunting for North Korean concentration camps I noticed this lovely pink volcano on the China/North Korea border.
Apparently it is Baekdu Mountain, and in the middle of it is Heaven Lake, one of the highest crater lakes in the world. I fear it may only be pink because of camera problems, but that doesn't really matter. I think the image above must have been taken in summer, rather than at this time of year when the average temperature there is a somewhat chilly -24C, which would suggest that the picture should be just a blanket of white.
