When I saw this headline I was wondering how they managed to get pictures from Antarctica, but looking at Google Maps, it just looks like a geotagged photo-album

I was hoping they were going to haze a Noogler and force him into deep sub zero tundra.

Right, taken on a vacation to Half Moon Island by the VP of Engineering for Maps. Not all of Antarctica, yet.

They have bus drivers. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encounters_at_the_End_of_the_Wo...

Interesting documentary.

I've always wanted to go down there. There's even a few couchsurfers down there

I'm incredibly impressed with the streetview coverage including the classic Irish one-track, grass-down-the-middle roads like this one near my house: http://bit.ly/8XLSfU
