This is kind of cool:

It is the northern terminus of the Alaskan Highway at Prudhoe Bay,  
Alaska.  You can follow the Alaska pipeline South.  I'd like it if the  
resolution were a bit higher.  Until the project is finished to bring  
fiber optic lines to the south pole I (think) that you are also seeing  
the end of the longest of long-haul fiber pulls (that is terrestrial,  
not under the ocean).
