Hidden places on Google Maps
1. Faroe Islands of the Kingdom of Denmark
Although it is an interesting place to visit, half of the Faroe Islands of the Kingdom of Denmark is obscured on Google Maps. The reason is said to be because there is a military base located in this area. Therefore, only the part between the island and the capital Torshavn is visible on the map.
2. Commission on Atomic and Alternative Energy in France
In France, near the city of Avignon there is a national nuclear research center Marcoule, which is a branch of the Atomic Energy Commission. This location is also shaded on Google Maps for “research purposes”.
3. Area 51 in Nevada, USA
Area 51 in Nevada, the world famous US is also highlighted in white on the Google Maps map. Many rumors say that area 51 is the place to conduct research on alien life forms.
4. San Blas Islands in the Caribbean
The San Blas Islands are located off the northern coast of the Isthmus of Panama and consist of 365 individual islands. On Google Maps, in the center of the archipelago a thick black bar appears and everything to the right of it is obscured, while the left is still clearly visible.
5. Airports in North Korea
On Google Maps, the airport in Samjiyon Province, North Korea has been covered with a gray layer to hide important aviation objects.
6. Social Security Building of the Spanish Armed Forces
This building belongs to the Spanish armed forces, located in the city of Almeria in the Andalusia region. On Google Maps, the image of this building is so blurred that its shape cannot be seen.
7. Jeannette Island (Russia)
Jeannette Island is quite small, with a length of only about 2km, located in the East Siberian Sea. In the center of the island there is a 350m high peak. Nearly the entire island is regularly covered with ice.
Many people think that this island is blacked out because this area is still having a sovereignty dispute between Russia and the US.
8. Province of Girona, Spain
A black mass appears in the Northeast region of Girona, a province of Spain. There is nothing outstanding around this area. However, in that black space there is a hotel called Roses. Many rumors say that this hotel is a resort of the rich and famous. Therefore, there was an intervention so that it was hidden, avoiding the prying eyes of outsiders.
9. Muntiecomplex, Veenhuizen, Netherlands
Seen from above, this square piece of land looks like an oil painting. Many people believe that this area is actually an ammunition depot of the Dutch army and is hidden on the map by the government of the windmill country.
10. Patio de los Naranjos (Spain)
Google has completely blurred out a fairly square campus called Patio de los Naranjos, located in the Spanish city of Almeria. This makes many people curious and try to find out. According to information many people speculate, this area is related to works under construction for some important government purpose.
11. Moruroa Island (Polynesia)
Moruroa is an atoll in the Polynesian national archipelago owned by the French Republic. The image of this island is never clearly displayed on Google Maps. So far, no one knows why this is so, but many rumors suggest that it is related to the history of the island. Between 1966 and 1996, the island of Moruroa was the site of French nuclear testing, with a maximum of 181 gruesome tests being carried out.
