Google Earth Offers Upgraded Antarctic Imagery
Google Earth fans rejoice!
Their blog LatLong, which offers the latest news on Google Earth and Google Maps, announces the best satellite imagery and greatest detail ever offered of Antarctica. If you haven’t tried Google Earth, you can download it for free, and experience the world in a whole new way.
This latest development in Antarctic imagery now stops at about 82.5 degrees South (as there are no satellite images available closer to the South Pole). That being said, much of Antarctica can be viewed like never before, and 2041 will showcase these fantastic updates in satellite technology on the upcoming 2008 IAE Expedition, which lasts from March 13 – 26, 2008.
With greater calls for user-generated content of the White Continent, we will contribute to the pool of knowledge by geo-tagging our GPS coordinates and images throughout the 2008 IAE journey, and upload them to the IAE Expedition website. Follow 2041.com for the latest updates and posts from the field.
