Where is this? What is this? Who is this? etc. (Pic Quiz: World)

Best guess so far is still @Mick’s

Although on second thoughts USNS General Hoyt S Vandenberg is about equally distant @Dr_Milker

SS Kyarra?

Not scuppered?

OK so big clue:

Distance as the crow flies to USNS General Hoyt S Vandenberg is 586 kilometers

Distance as the crow flies to The Prince Albert is 650 kilometers.

As the blue whale swims The Prince Albert is closer

The Antilla?

USS Oriskany?

The Kittiwake?

OK, starting with an easy one. What is this, where is it, and what is it’s significance?

place

The Golden Urn, used in a method for confirming the identity of reincarnated lamas in Tibet. It is in Tibetan National Museum, Lhasa. Https://tricycle.org/trikedaily/treasury-lives-controversy-golden-urn/

Incomplete answer, both about the significance and location (added on edit). The next correct one (about the significance) takes it.

It is a symbol of Chinese interference in Tibet.

(I think that is @RickRoll’s point)

He actually didn’t fully answer the question, but this is the warm-up phase, so no biggie.
