    As someone who lives in the Greater Toronto Area, a place with a city called Scarborough in it, I was extremely confused and extremely terrified for way longer than I needed to be.

    No idea there was a shoal out there called Scarborough as well.

    That being said, I can’t say I’m surprised Chinas reaction here is to salt the earth they can’t have.

      I was similarly pretty confused here that it was referring to the little seaside town in Yorkshire, which I assume all these other Scarboroughs (that I too had never heard of) are named after.

        I genuinely thought your first picture would be Scarborough, ON based on the thumbnail. Your second picture is not Scarborough, ON. This is Scarborough, ON:

        Note: you can see the core from your second image in the distance on the left.

        Reminds me of the two explorers from That Mitchell & Webb Look (youtube link)

        “Of course not! Not North Wales! That’s ridiculous! It’s nothing like North Wales. No, South Wales of course. The resemblance is uncanny”
