Here is a modern nuclear power station, sited in a desert, on a beach.

1. What are the power station and the desert called?

2. Where is this?

Yes! Congrats, lorddix! And that station really is in a tiny desert, one of the few in Europe, there on the beaches of Dungeness. How did you figure this out???

Wow! That was fortuitous, and a smart search idea as well. But you still win!

Isn't it two victories in a short time?

Congratz Lorrdix!

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
Carl Sagan - 1996
