[edit] Geology

Close to Kherson is an area that looks very strange from satellite: ( 46°36′02″N, 33°02′23″E). It looks like a mining area.

I couldn't find that map there. Please, give a direct link. Sashazlv 01:10, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
New to wikipedia, didnt know about the 'discussion' tab. Ok, here it is http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=46.600556,33.039722&spn=0.3,0.3&t=k. If you zoom out a bit, you can really see that it looks strange.

This is not a mining area, but an area with sand dunes, which are partly covered by forests which have been planted since the 1950ies.

[edit] Founder

Contradicts with the Gannibal article, which says Kherson was founded by one of his sons.
