Google managed to bring Street View to many locations in Antarctica
including the
ceremonial South Pole and
Telescope, with the help of the Polar Geospatial Center at the University of
Minnesota and the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust. But the company has gone one step further, providing you the ability to look inside both
Shackleton's and
Scott's huts which were used in the early 20th century by the explorers and have been preserved almost perfectly.
According to Google these high quality images were taken on a lightweight tripod with fisheye lens.
"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," Google said.
