Dude! I *know* that… uh… ice cliff…. Guardian takes a look at Google Street View’s mission to the southernmost continent:
Brian McClendon, vice-president of engineering at Google Earth and Maps, wrote on the company’s blog: “We often consider Street View to be the last zoom layer on the map, and a way to show you what a place looks like as if you were there in person – whether you’re checking out a coffee shop across town or planning a vacation across the globe. 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.”
