BTW, Google says it's "Snow".

It is Alaska. And based on the first clue (rock exposed) either snow or ice has melted exposing the Whatzit.

The area has weather radar but I know of no early warning radar.

I don't care what Rufus says, the very first guess is a very strong hint of what Rufus' Whatzit is. That and Google's guess of "Snow" lead me to the answer.

Nice guess but the black specks appear to be rocks, not people.

Two more clues.
1) It was posted by Rufus.
2) Mt. Susitna, Alaska

I am pretty confident that I made no mention of a paralyzed Teddybear, dead or otherwise, who may or not be named Rupert.

Annotated copy of Rufus original image. Red arrows indicate abnormally "straight" lines, usual indication of human intervention. Green arrows point out an almost perimeter formation, another indication of possible human intervention. This is a 2D image of a 3D objects and the appearance of straight lines may not be accurate/correct.

Wayne, I can't find matches for this specific "pattern" on either image you posted. Also, the first overview and the second one differ in terms of resolution. The pixels don't seem to match in terms of size of area covered.

Rufus' image was created after considerable snow (or glacier) melt. His shows what is under the snow.

Because I zoomed in to see what the black specks were.

Now if you are comparing Rufus' image to mine the answer is they were created in very different ways.
Mine is a satellite image from Google Maps. Rufus' is different.

There is a telecom site in the vicinity.

http://www.alsap.org/MtSusitna/MtSusitna.htm

And a wack job website intimating it's a secret base for analyzing space aliens:

https://www.skyecooley.com/single-post/2017/07/28/Mysterious-Facility-Atop-Little-Mt-Susitna

Both of these sites have lat/long in the immediate vicinity of the red box you drew on Google earth.

I dialed back the date on the Google image to 2006 and arrived at a low res, non snow covered area and I see what looks like man made "chunks" of "something", possibly a chopper landing site. Even the newer images are pretty low res and just hint at something man made poking out of the snow, a lot of straight lines and right angles.
