[mod approved(giancarlo)] Hiii I'm pretty new to osint and recently got stumped by a geolocation challenge. These are screenshots of the same panorama for this challenge.
|| I've got a feeling it's along one of Norway's county roads, though I can't find the exact road on street view||
Would appreciate any help and also the method that led there too

Geolocation challenge
This is where the challenge is from: http://52.76.163.244:1337/tis-the-season
undercover in norway
It is ||Norway|| And more precise in ||the far north, the reindeers and the lack of trees at sea level is a good indicator||
Found it
||70.133,22.990|| is what its accepting
Noting the OP was looking for help in finding the answer; would you be willing to share how you got to that location, @solid dragon?
yes, that did it, thanks! and what i was about to ask was how did you manage to get such a specific coordinate if you dont mind sharing @solid dragon
As said, its clear that it is ||far north in Norway|| from there it is pretty straightforward ||since there are very few roads, i think it was the 2nd fjord i checked that matched.||
But i guess that step 1 is the hardest if you dont have that knowledge.
You can also use || the corner of the road and the sun to give you some clues on where to look. The mountains in the distance also tells us that we are either looking into a fjord or is deep into it. As a bonus - The reindeers tells us that it is unlikely that it is on an island ||
ohh awesomee yeah i didnt know that....
I was looking in the same area, but didn’t find that place as fast as @solid dragon
That it is ||Norway|| can be easily identified with help of || a LLM, just upload the pictures and ask for the region. However do not ask exact locations, because that will most likely give you poor results.||
Then, to proceed and find the exact place, you can || take crops of a remarkable spot or a house and try an image reverse search ||
||first I looked which area has a view in summer to snow mountains, second I looked for a fjord with that small islands you see in the back when you zoom in, than followed the roads around that. I always work clockwise, in such areas our grid tool can help a lot.||
