Where on (Google) Earth? No. 187.


Having won the last round of Where on (Google) Earth it is my turn to suggest a location for others to find. The image below has an eye altitude of roughly 23km, and that’s all the help you lovely people get I’m afraid.
As with previous episodes, what we need to know is the Longitude and Latitude of the image, a general locality name and an explanation of the geological feature(s) shown. Also as with previous episodes, the first person with the correct answer gets to host the next edition.

Good Luck!

    10.938N, 47.848E

    North-facing escarpment in Sanaag region of northern Somalia formed during rifting of the Gulf of Aden. The area just north of the escarpment has more vegetation due to orographic precipitation.
