Street View reaches Mount Everest

March 19, 2013

Just a few days ago we took a look at the history of Street View and now Google has literally taken it to new heights by capturing imagery from Mount Everest, Kilimanjaro and others.

Google is really working hard to bring Street View to all corners of the globe and this is another step in that direction. When combined with previous efforts like the Grand Canyon and diving in the oceans it’s becoming quite remarkable.
Google also discussed the adventure in a 20 minute Google+ “hangout” which you can view here:

You can view the new imagery in this special gallery and you can read more about it and the effort that went into it on the Google Lat Long Blog.
