This episode discusses a Carolina Bay in North Carolina that is 200 meters above sea level and about 200 kilometers from the Atlantic Coast. It is hidden in plain sight. You cannot see it in aerial views or satellite images. Its elliptical geometry only becomes apparent when the terrain is viewed with LiDAR, which is a laser ranging technology.
