Google Earth: Chernoybl, Russia question
I'm trying to locate the epicenter of the Chernoybl reactor meltdown on Google Earth. I've located the cooling towers @ 51d 22m 38.39s N / 30d 07m 57.44s E....but I'm not quite sure where the sarcophagus is located. This location resolves down to under 1000 feet....Google Earth is just an amazing piece of software...

2. Actually, no subscription is needed.
Type in Chernobyl, Russia in the "fly to" field....that will take you to the general area. At the bottom of your screen there shouold be pointer data...where ever you put the cursor, it will give you the coordinates and elevation data. If you don't see that information, go to View and click on "Status Bar"...it should appear then.
