# osint/literally arrakis I

### Writeup by Victor

The challenge presented you with an image and tasked you with finding the precise latitude and longitude coordinates when opening the original source in street view.

Upon opening the `arrakis1.jpg` file we are prompted with a location. We see a large stone structure in the middle of a sand dune.

After putting the image into Google Lens we find out that the location is somewhere within the Gobi Desert in southern Mongolia. One of the results we get is from [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Khermen_Tsav_-_Shambala_gate_-_panoramio.jpg) and after scrolling through the page you'll find the camera location of the photo, which is 43° 28′ 06.17″ N, 99° 49′ 42.96″ E. After putting these coordinates into Google Maps and clicking on the nearest single street view image, we find the exact location of the image in Google street view.&#x20;

The latitude and longitude coordinates can be found in the URL of the street view.
