Google takes Street View to the South Pole

Care to take a trip to the South Pole? Well Google has just the thing, taking its Street View program to the southern most point on the Earth. Now every internet user is able to get a panoramic view of the ceremonial South Pole.

With the help of the Polar Geospatial Center at the University of Minnesota and the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust, Google have been able to bring the renown Street View to several locations in Antarctica including the ceremonial South Pole and Telescope.

Google says that by providing images of historic locations in Antarctica, "schoolchildren as far as Bangalore can count penguin colonies on Snow Hill Island, and geologists in Georgia can trace sedimentary layers in the Dry Valleys from the comfort of their desks."

If none of that interests you, here"s a Penguin colony.
