Come Explore the Oceans with Google!
How would you like to explore the depths of the ocean from the comfort of your chair while sitting in front of your PC? Now, I know that there are some of you that would enjoy exploring in a submarine in real life, however, for those less adventurous or who do not have the financial where withal to do so, you can now enjoy an undersea adventure with Google!
Google recently announced the release of Google Earth 5.0, and with this release, you can now explore the depths of the oceans. The new version gives you the ability to plunge all the way to the bottom of the sea, view exclusive content from Google partners such as BBC, Jacque Cousteau, and National Geographic. Explore 3D shipwrecks such as the Titanic. You will be able to enjoy the Mariana Trench, the deepest part in the ocean, and you will learn about ocean observations, climate changes, and endangered species.
Visit http://earth.google.com/ocean/ to get Google Earth 5.0 or to learn more about discovering the Oceans through Google Earth. Now, since I am on dial-up internet connection, it is not possible through this connection for me to enjoy Google Earth and all it has to offer. If you download Google Earth and explore the oceans, stop by after your oceanic adventure and share your finds by leaving a post!
