Find the Building: Solve the Clues & Show the Map!

[hsdrop]

i know I am stumped

 

[tionis]

Is it too soon to expand on the clues ?

No other clues for now
But Mendeleev would be proud.

An island without a sea?
This marvel of Li I must see!

OK, I seem to have caught up with orchestra stuff this evening, so I've had time for a quick think...

How about Isla Incauhuasi which is an "island" in the middle of the world's largest salt flat Salar de Uyuni from which much of the world's lithium is obtained.

Correct!

 

[Jonathan Scott]

Correct!

Nicely educational, thanks. I didn't know of that place, but looked for an "island" in salt flats or similar, and when I found it was surrounded by deposits rich in lithium that made sense of the rest of the clue.

Now I guess we resume the "cardinal directions" puzzle which @hsdrop posed. As far as I know, the "minimal" point for cardinal directions on land would be the South Pole, as all directions from there are North, but I can't think of anywhere which is completely without cardinal directions.

 

[hsdrop]

ok guys I have given some thought to this one since I posted it and I really do think the clue is misleading so i'll just have to give this one to you guys the place I was thinking of was the center or core of the globe

when we are thinking of the earth, where is the only place without cardinal directions??

the key worlds in this one is "when we think of the earth" not "were on the earth" sorry guys all come up with a better one next time

It is Jonathan's turn, but I know he doesn't mind, so here is another easy one:

Oh statue of Liberty
bearing the stars that shine on thee!

 

[hsdrop]

new york?

 

[tionis]

new york?

You would think, but you'd be WRONG!

 

[Jonathan Scott]

It is Jonathan's turn, but I know he doesn't mind, so here is another easy one:

Oh statue of Liberty
bearing the stars that shine on thee!

Are we off-world again, with a nebula in the constellation Cariana?

 

[tionis]

Are we off-world again, with a nebula in the constellation Cariana?

Green is her color
Of copper she is made
And her location is surely on earth!

 

[Jonathan Scott]

There are a lot of earth-bound replicas of the Statue of Liberty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replicas_of_the_Statue_of_Liberty

Yes, there are many, but none are like me
Although I am Liberty, I'm not on that list!

 

[Jonathan Scott]

How about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Monument ?

 

[tionis]

How about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Monument ?

Yes!
Pity I had so many clues for this one that will never see the light
Well done, Mr. Scott!

 

[Jonathan Scott]

It was tricky coming up with a relevant search where the results weren't swamped by the usual Statue of Liberty! (And I'm busy this week so I didn't want to have to sift through a huge pile of search results).

Okay since no one has posted a new one I'll cut in with this.
Your searching for a redeemer, though not on sugarloaf, it is on a big mountain that's usually white.
Smokey the bear said Jesus has to go, the court battle decided otherwise.
Post an image or G.E. coordinates.

Bingo!

OK. Here is another one. Very easy:

Sun that is being fiercely spent on a tree
kisses the metal that is made of thee

If that's very easy, I must have mislaid my brain somewhere. Do I need another language for this one (Latin, Greek, Spanish...)?.

Anyway, too busy to spend much time on it now (preparing for concert tomorrow).

Maybe some facility like this?

There are more than one solar collection plant in existence, but I'll guess this one as an example:
Ivanpah Solar Power Facility.

(Map link: https://www.google.com/maps/place/I...81620c57d7b15ade!8m2!3d35.56222!4d-115.472875)

I'm not sure if that's what you were thinking though.

A commander beheld me
His eyes could not believe
I'm not a power plant
I'm just a metal tree.

Tree of Ténéré,

 

[hsdrop]

Tree of Ténéré,

[tionis]

Tree of Ténéré,

You are correct!
Your turn.

 

[tionis]

I know, right?

 

[john101]
