Google Sightseeing: Western Sahara

The writers of Google Sightseeing use Google Earth to find cool things around the world. They've taken an interest in the Western Sahara, and they found several cool things.

The picture to the left is the SADR flag with, in Spanish, "Sahara Vencer," which translates to "Sahara Will Win." Indeed.

They also found several shipwrecks, both off the coast and washed ashore. I heard the stretch of water between the Canaries and Western Sahara was treacherous, and these ships confirm it.

Finally, the sinister Bou Craa conveyor. While it's bad that the conveyor sucks wealth and opportunity out of the Western Sahara every day, it seems from the pictures that a lot of phosphate has blown off the conveyor.
