Google Maps has recently unveiled Street View images for Mt. Everest and other notable mountains. This takes armchair explorers like us to great heights even without the extreme cold, avalanche and what not.
Most of us have a bucket list of the places we want to visit in our lifetime and usually, the list is pretty long. Google Maps has a bucket list too, and it’s checking off a couple of its favorites and share them with you. If tall mountains are your thing, you’re in luck.
Now you can explore some
of the most famous mountains on Earth, including Aconcagua
(South America), Kilimanjaro (Africa), Mount Elbrus (Europe) and Everest Base
Camp (Asia) on Google Maps. These mountains belong to the group of peaks
known as the Seven Summits—the highest mountain on each of the seven
continents. While there’s nothing quite like
standing on the mountain, with Google Maps you can instantly transport yourself
to the top of these peaks and enjoy the sights without all of the avalanches,
rock slides, crevasses, and dangers from altitude and weather that mountaineers
face.
