35 Breathtaking Google Earth Images

From Satellite Image Rugs to 3D-Infused Maps

— February 1, 2013 — Eco
These breathtaking Google Earth images gather the output of the company's most recent geographic tech tools. Satellite imagery has altered the way scientists and travelers operate, enabling both to get in-depth looks at iconic regions throughout the world. In whichever case, the aerial perspective is undeniably beautiful.

Satellite image rugs and 3D-inused maps are only some of the ways in which designers and photographers have made use of Google Earth's programs. The ability to zoom in or rotate images on a 360 degree scale offers an assortment of unique vantage points, making the features both interactive and remarkably precise. Best of all is the ability to follow up on the progression of various territories over time, tracking the development of natural landscapes.
