Just flew this yesterday, MEA of FL250. Like being on another planet. A volcano with a crater lake at its base not a cloud in the sky. Noon time with the sun overhead. We were in awe of the beauty of the southern Andes.

This thread reminds me of a old mystery - I was travelling back from Japan - LHR back in the 90s and at some point not long, perhaps 2/3 hours after take off was passing over uninhabited snow-covered terrain (Russia? China?). But the puzzling thing was i was seeing lots of parallel lines on the ground. My thoughts were fences, but too visible and too long. Power lines - too many in parallel. some kind of antenna or radar array?
I've since checked on google earth but find nothing similar.
Does that ring any bells with anyone who does this route?

Monument valley. Sparsley inhabitated so you could legally go down there to 500 feet. Tried if the thermals there would lift that can up on idle, but you still go slowly down.
