Palm Island Resort, Dubai, Arab Emirates: Sometimes, what looks like a palm tree from orbit is, well, a palm tree. Palm Island is a resort under construction on reclaimed land just off the coast from Dubai. Advertised as "being visible from the Moon" this man-made structure will have 17 huge fronds surrounded by 12 km of protective barrier reefs. When completed the resort will have up to 2000 villas, 40 luxury hotels, shopping centers, cinemas, and more.
