01
Where did Bolshevik forces storm the imperial residence on October 25, 1917 (Old Style) — the moment that toppled the Provisional Government?
● Дворцовая площадь — Санкт-Петербург, Санкт-Петербург, Россия
Did you know?
The Bolshevik storming of the Winter Palace on October 25, 1917 (Old Style) — celebrated as the iconic moment of the October Revolution — actually involved limited violence; the famous Eisenstein film recreation was filmed with more extras than were involved in the real event.

Drop a pin on the cone that catastrophically erupted on May 18, 1980 — blowing off 400 m of its summit and devastating hundreds of square miles.
● Skamania County — Washington, United States
Did you know?
Mount St. Helens' May 18, 1980 eruption blew 400 meters off the summit and was preceded by a massive landslide — the largest debris avalanche in recorded history.
The eruption killed 57 people and devastated 230 square miles of forest. The lateral blast moved at over 300 mph and the ash plume reached 80,000 feet. The volcano's crater has been slowly rebuilding with a new lava dome since, monitored continuously by the USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory.

Drop a pin on the tiny studio where Elvis Presley made his first recording in 1953 — and where Sam Phillips also recorded Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Roy Orbison.
● Beale Street — Memphis, Tennessee, United States
Did you know?
Elvis Presley walked into Sun Studio in July 1953 to record a $4 acetate for his mother — Sam Phillips signed him a year later, and the 'Million Dollar Quartet' (Elvis, Cash, Lewis, Perkins) was photographed jamming together at the studio in 1956.

Drop a pin on the world's longest-span suspension bridge until 2022 — 3,911 m crossing a strait between two large islands.
● 松帆の浦 — 淡路市, 日本
Did you know?
The Akashi Kaikyō Bridge held the world's longest suspension span (3,911 m main span) from 1998 until 2022 — it survived the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake during construction, with the towers shifting roughly a meter farther apart.

Drop a pin on the turquoise glacial lake — backed by Victoria Glacier — that is the centerpiece of a Rocky Mountain national park established in 1885.
● Village Road — Alberta, Canada
Did you know?
Lake Louise's turquoise color comes from glacial flour — fine rock particles ground by Victoria Glacier that scatter blue and green light differently than clear water.
