The image shows a serene landscape with a body of water, likely a lake or sea, and a grassy shore. The presence of a tree on the left and a dirt path suggests a natural, possibly rural or coastal area. The copyright notice ’2018 Google’ indicates the image is from Google Street View. The landscape and vegetation suggest a northern European location. The blue-green water and the tree species are consistent with Scandinavian countries. The image’s characteristics, such as the calm water and the type of vegetation, point towards a location in Sweden, which is known for its numerous lakes and coastal areas.

This image shows a Great Lakes shoreline with characteristics typical of Lake Superior’s southern shore. The reddish/brown sandy beach, evergreen forest in the background, clear blue-green water, and the overall landscape composition are consistent with the Upper Peninsula of Michigan or northern Wisconsin. The rocky beach formations and dense coniferous forest suggest this is likely along Lake Superior’s north shore area, possibly near Marquette, Michigan or a similar location in that region.

The image depicts a coastal scene with clear blue water, birch trees, grassy embankment, and distant coniferous forest, characteristic of the Scandinavian Baltic Sea region, likely Sweden. The rural dirt path and natural landscape match areas near Stockholm archipelago, such as around Vaxholm. Coordinates point to a plausible Street View location in the Stockholm area with similar features.

The image shows a coastal scene with characteristics typical of the Åland Islands or the Finnish/Swedish archipelago: reddish-brown soil/path (rapakivi granite), green grass, calm Baltic Sea waters, forested islands in the background, and the overall landscape feel. The reddish soil is particularly characteristic of the Åland Islands in Finland. The vegetation, water color, and flat coastal terrain all support this location.

Red sandy soil/gravel and red rocks along the shore are characteristic of Prince Edward Island. The low conifer tree line, grassy verge with dandelions and a flat view across a gulf with small islands matches the Gulf of St. Lawrence / North Shore of PEI (Cavendish/North Rustico area). The overall vegetation and soil color strongly indicate PEI rather than mainland Atlantic provinces.

The image displays characteristics typical of the northern Great Lakes region: a vast body of water, dense coniferous forest covering the landmasses visible across the water, and reddish/brown soil near the shoreline (indicative of iron-rich geology common in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan). The specific scenic lookout, showing a grassy embankment leading down to a rocky shore and looking across a wide bay toward a forested point of land, is strongly matched by locations along US Highway 2 west of St. Ignace, Michigan, overlooking Lake Michigan/Straits of Mackinac.

The image shows a coastal scene with a large body of water, likely a lake, and a grassy, rocky shoreline. The landscape, water color, and distant forested shore are characteristic of the Canadian side of Lake Superior, specifically near Thunder Bay or the surrounding region in Ontario. Historical Street View data and geographic features suggest this location is in the vicinity of 48.5°N, 87.0°W, which aligns with the Great Lakes’ shoreline in northeastern Ontario, Canada.

The image depicts a rocky shoreline of the Baltic Sea with characteristic features of the Åland Islands (Ahvenanmaa) or Finnish archipelago region. Key indicators include: the granite rocky coastline with reddish soil, sparse coastal vegetation and grasses, the clear blue-green color of the Baltic Sea, and forested islands visible across the water. The deciduous tree on the left and the coniferous forest across the water match the mixed boreal-nemoral vegetation zone typical of this region at approximately 60°N latitude. The flat terrain and specific geology are consistent with the glacially-scoured landscape of the Åland Islands.
Methodology Note
Each model receives the same Google Street View image. Models are tasked with guessing the location of the image using only visual clues from the street view. Their answers are evaluated without feedback or retries.
