Hi Richard,

You also have a formatting problem on line #96251 of the non antarctic 
file near placemark name Whitecourt crater. the KML files are XML files 
for Google Earth so they must conform to the base spec so you cannot 
have use a < symbol in the file without a corresponding > symbol. Next 
time try using the escape sequence < when needing < to get past the 
format checker.

Other then that great job.

Mike
