  2026-09-26/easygeoint/📍 47.361238, 11.922878/#geolocation#bellingcat#reverse-image-search#socmint#osint

  Bellingcat Globetrotters. One photo of a sticker-covered summit box and a view over an Alpine valley. A QR code, a date search on X and a Google Maps user photo narrowed it from all of Austria to one cross.

  2026-09-26/easygeoint/📍 47.66914, -122.35096/#geolocation#bellingcat#reverse-image-search#osint
