Notable "locations" on Kerbin

[Ncog Nito]

Good day all.  I made a pretty decent rover and I have been testing it around the KSC on Kerbin and it got me thinking.  Are there any special locations on Kerbin to go to, such as cities, monuments, craters, wonders of the world, etc.  If there are, do they offer special science bonuses at these locations.  Also, if there are such locations, as a Kerbal, shouldn't I know where these are at?  It is my home planet after all.

There are a few special location on Kerbin. The wiki lists them as easter eggs along with their latitude and longitude.

An in game way to find them should be to use KerbNet with a probe core that can detect anomalies. Or use the scansat mod that will provide a handy map showing their locations.

I don't believe they give any kind of science bonus or new biome, but I haven't tested that.

There should be a green monolith somewhere on Kerbin, and every other body that will give you a science boost.

You get World's First funds bonuses for finding each anomaly.

Its worth sight seeing on kerbin at least once.  There are a few things to see.  You might want to develop a plane that will help you get that rover around to some far flung places.
