The images to the left are of the Northern Russia/Finland border in an area called Lapland. The area in the image is to the West of the cities of Palyarnyy and Murmansk. Notice the striking similarities between this region and the North American image of Nova Scotia. Note the areas in dark are the numerous small bodies of water along the coastline of Northern Russia.
The enlargements to the left reveal more triangular shapes both large and small as well as rectilinear bodies of water. The first image enlargement also reveals a connection between the smaller bodies of water by straight linear features. |

The images to the right are of the central coastal region of Sweden. The area pictured is West of the cities of Vindeln and Umea. Again the same triangular lake bodies can be seen of different sizes.
Another interesting feature is the long canal-like area pictured below running from the top left of the image towards the lake near the middle of the image.

More long, straight, canal-like features have also been spotted in Australia. The line below leads from a large lake that may have been a river delta at one time. The canal-like feature is called Prince Regent River and is located in Prince Regent Nature Reserve. |

There is also another straight line feature parallel to the main line as shown in the close-up to the far left. The 2nd image to the left reveals the main long line cutting straight through the ground to form gorges. |
|
| It can also be noted that the straight line feature leads directly to Mt. Hann which is within the Prince Regent Nature Reserve and can be seen below left. Another interesting rocky formation is the flat topped peak called Mt. Trafalgar. Could these mountains be remnants of a vast and immense process of irrigation that may have helped carve out the landscape to create interesting rock formations? If these types of features are created geologically by repeated ice thawing that would imply that parts of Australia were also covered by ice sometime in the distant past. |

The image to the far left is of another large, triangular shaped lake with a long, canal-like line extending to the North. This feature is located on Victoria Island in Canada. It is very similar to the straight line feature pictured above in Australia.
The enlargements to the left also indicate numerous smaller triangular shaped bodies of water similar to the enlargements of the Russia area. |
|
| Another interesting similarity can be seen below which reveals a network of lines connecting the triangular features on both the North American and European landscapes. |

The image to the left lies just to the North of Chesterfield Inlet in the Canadian Northwest Territories. The darker color denotes the smaller lakes including many that are almost perfect triangles. They seem to be connected to each other by dark line features that were first pointed out in the Finland image at the end of Part 1 . These lines appear to be placed and aligned to each other in a grid like pattern that tends to follow the topography of the landscape.
The enlargements below show the linear features connecting the smaller triangular shaped lakes to one another. |

The image to the right shows the straight, line features in the Northwest Canadian Territories. Again the enlargements reveal numerous triangular lakes interconnected by long lines. This time however the enlargements reveal a triangular shape to the line layout which is another excellent indicator that these lines connecting the triangular lake features are either artificial in origin or we are seeing the visual mathematics of nature.
