The main item of geologic interest is the circular hole - the cryolite mine at Iviqtut. Cryolite is used in the process of modern aluminum extraction. This location is one of the only naturally occurring locations of this very important compound.
For this contest, let's go somewhere warmer!
The Schott Rule is invoked to give others a chance to solve the puzzle! This means previous winners have to wait one hour for each win they previously had, before they are allowed to solve.
As always, the first person to post the position and whatever is interesting about the geology/hydrology/geowhatever in this location, wins the privilege of hosting the next WoGE.
Previous WoGEs are collected by Felix on his blog and a KML file.

Carberry sandhills or Spirit Sands, Spruce Woods Provincial Park, Manitoba, Canada. The park contains one of very few areas of sand dunes in Canada, called the Carberry sandhills, or Spirit Sands. This region is not a true desert, but the remnant of a sandy delta of the Assiniboine River, from a time when it ran into glacial Lake Agassiz. The Assiniboine river was much larger at the time, and the present day river runs for most of its length in the bottom of the old river valley.
Ole.. you got it. Nice job waiting as per the Schott rules.
