Some of the striking landscapes of the Galapagos Islands, which belong to Ecuador, can now be explored online on Google's Street View. The launch marks 178 anniversary of the British scientist Charles Darwin's visit. Our America's editor Eric Camara has more. “It may be called Street View, but an online visit to the Galapagos Islands allows users to dive with sea lions, check out hatching turtles and finding guanas on white, sandy beaches. As another Street View project, you can zoom in and out and move around the images, the stunning pictures are a joint project of the Islands National Park and the Charles Darwin foundation. It took Google staff ten days in a special backpack camera to shoot the images last May.”
