The Streetview crew photographed a new zone, so now Google map users can have a mini expedition around Antarctica.
It looks like the crew photographed spots all around the Continent, which you can now get a good Ariel shot with a photographed view. So don't expect to be journeying on a set trail, but these early pictures from 2007 look fantastic showing penguins and scientific spots.
"On the company's blog yesterday, he wrote: "We hope this new imagery will help people in Ireland, Brazil, and even the penguins of Antarctica to navigate nearby, as well as enable people around the world to learn more about these areas.""-Telegraph
