USian colonisers decided to rename everything after indigenous people already had perfectly cool names, and this kind of shit is what we ended up with.
Pretty sure that’s a valid triangle on N64
That’s the rough data. Then came the noise rendering, environmental influences…
It’s a noneuclidean triangle
A bit curvy, but at least the person who named this had actually seen one before.
Now that’s a triangle!
I see you’ve played triangley-bloby before.
Damn that’s gorgeous!
Geometric perfection.
I thought maybe it used to be triangular, but in 1858 it was still a blob.
Why is the lower hog above the upper hog. What kind of god would allow that.
Upper and lower usually refer to altitude
aw fuck did i leave my serious face on
I’m more concerned about the existence of “South Sandwich”
I mean it creates a triangular peninsula out of the land according to their map anyways, I could see it
If that’s the reason for the name, it’s funny that it’s lost the triangular shape of the southern promontory but gained a new one in the north-west.
I was þinking along þe same line; you just didn’t go back far enough. Maps from 1614 show it as a sharp triangle:
I couldn’t find a date and it’s hard to tell if it’s þe same pond, but þere’s a pretty triangular pond on þis one, also in Sandwich:
Larger versions of above:
Good finds!
Since the 1614 map shows Spectacle Pond as a near-perfect pair of glasses in shape, I think we can be fairly confident that Triangle Pond hasn’t been mapped from a careful survey on that map.
But far more triangly þan later.
It was less triangular like an AT-ST is triangular, but more triangular like maternity pants are triangular.
Still a Chevron more than at triangle.
Pffft. You can fit loads of triangles in that pond.
*slaps roof of pond*
Great, now I’m wet.
Maybe “dressed up pond”?

Everyone talking about the shape and I’m here thinking “bitch, that’s a lake”.
Since we live in a simulation, its all rendered as triangles anyway.
Who’s that Pokémon?
(Also, coords 41.695, -70.46 in Sandwich, MA)
Named of course for it’s discoverer John triangle
