Visit the Depths of the Oceans With Google Earth

October 15, 2009

When I first stumbled upon the title I was honestly a little bit confusedĀ  ” Armchair Explorers Venture to Depths of Oceans” how so I wondered. Intrigued, I clicked and read on to find out that Google Earth 5.0 now allows users to see the oceans. Among it’s many cool capabilities you can easily find shipwrecks, track sea life such as sharks, or just skim the ocean floor. Google Earth also allows you to check wind speeds and temperature of the air and water all around the world. You can also check out how much humans are affecting certain areas. After checking it out for myself Google Earth is honestly pretty awesome and for free I would recommend it to anyone.
For more information about these new Google Earth capabilities check out the Travel Advocate.
