Google Street View is making it harder and harder for us to find reasons to leave the house. This week marks the 178th anniversary of Darwin discovering the Galápagos Islands, and Google has launched an amazing 360 degree tour of one of the most biodiverse archipelagos on Earth.
Google’s official blog says that viewers will be able to see a panorama of the Galápagos giant tortoise breeding center, tour the Charles Darwin Research Station and even see sea lions underwater!
How did Google get such amazing photos, you ask? We’ll tell you. A team of hikers set out carrying 42-pound camera mounted backpacks that take photos every 2,5 seconds.
There is even a behind the scenes tour, where viewers can hear from experts and get more information about the stunning islands.
