Reasoning:
This image shows a characteristic Australian landscape with dry, sparse ground cover, distinctive eucalyptus and acacia trees, and semi-arid vegetation typical of inland Western Australia. The vegetation pattern, soil type, tree species (including what appears to be native Australian flora like the palm-like plant on the left), and the overall landscape composition are consistent with the Kimberley region of Western Australia or similar inland tropical/subtropical Australian areas. The dry season appearance and tree types suggest this is likely from the northwest Australian interior, approximately in the Broome or Kimberley region.

Reasoning:
The image shows sandy, dry soil with scattered trees that resemble slash pines or oaks, along with some palms or palmettos, typical of Florida’s central flatwoods or scrub areas. The open, undeveloped landscape suggests a rural or natural reserve in central Florida, near coordinates around Orlando.

Reasoning:
The environment is characterized by dense, tropical/subtropical scrub and tree cover, including what appears to be palms and broadleaf hardwoods. The ground is very sandy, light-colored, and sparse, suggesting a coral or limestone base (scrubland/coastal region). This distinctive combination of flora and arid-looking, light-colored soil is highly typical of the undeveloped areas of the Florida Keys, particularly the middle or lower keys.

Reasoning:
Sandy, coastal scrub vegetation with palmettos and live-oak-like trees is characteristic of southwestern Florida barrier islands. The ground is white sand with sparse understory, small palms and oak trees — typical of Sanibel/Captiva style lots. Lighting, flat terrain and subtropical species point to Gulf Coast Florida rather than inland or other continents.

Reasoning:
The image shows a sandy area with scattered trees and tropical vegetation, consistent with the Dry Tortugas National Park in Florida. This park, located at approximately 24.55°N, 82.83°W, features similar landscapes with sparse vegetation on sandy terrain, typical of its coastal and island environment.

Reasoning:
The image depicts a sandy area with trees and greenery, characteristic of the Bahamas’ landscape. The presence of ’Google’ in the corners suggests it’s a Google Street View image. The Bahamas is known for having extensive Street View coverage. Given the environment and the fact that Street View often covers tourist and natural areas, a likely location is the Rand Nature Centre on Grand Bahama Island.
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.
