Quebec wanted to build a wall a long time ago to keep everyone out, the rest of us wanted them to build it so we could fill it with water :wink:

Once the data load in properly with the servers running at proper capacity I expect all those issues will disappear. Sorry to spoil your fantasy my dear Quebecians!

Hello @Pr0metheus1962 ,
Do you have the coordinates for that?

Yes. The image was taken at 48°58’23.9"N 68°52’53.0"W (48.973305, -68.881388).

I was mistaken - it’s the Betsiamites River.

I just spent a few minutes exploring it. It’s actually quite pretty. It’s like a huge natural aqueduct. It goes all the way from the lake in the north, where there’s a dam, to the St. Lawrence River in the South. I landed on the lake. It looks like when the river was created, they used the altitude of the top of the dam for the river.

A couple more pictures. These are taken at the southern end, near the town of Betsiamites. That’s my Grumman Goose at the top of the ice cliff. You can land on the ice in winter, and you can (if you have an amphibious aircraft) land in the water in summer.

Shouldn‘t you have used a Dragon Rapid to overfly it?

LOL! Yeah, maybe.

Taking off from the edge (summer or winter) is a blast.

And you can perch on the very edge, then full throttle and dive off and recover before hitting the ground!
