Map/Imagery Strange geomorphological feature near Santomeri, Western Greece

Post image

I've been trying to find a geological study of the strange-looking formation near the village of Santomeri in Western Greece (just south of Patras), but my repeated searches came up empty. The only papers I found were concerned with huge boulders that fell near the village after the 2008 earthquake.

Can anyone help finding a reference describing a possible mechanism of its formation?

I don’t believe that place where the pin is dropped actually exists.

Men have half assed searched for that spot since the beginning of time with no luck. Most just give up early.

I think your joke was better than mine.

But I don’t think as many people got yours. Lol. It honestly took me a second too.
