It was only a matter of time before Google Earth updated its imagery for Heiberg Forest and revealed the pools constructed in 2010. None of the pools constructed beneath forest cover are visible, but the 16 pools in the field portion of the Microarray (Pools 17-32) resemble a full-blown alien landing operation. Note that only half of the pools are holding water. Random small pale blotches are spoils piles that are slowly revegetating.

That is so cool! Alien landing, indeed. It looks like the only ones filled with water are on the down-slope side of the field?
