How Did Google Get a Street View of the Arabian Desert? Well, First It Got This Camel
Posted in: Uncategorized
You’re lost somewhere on the planet and freaked out for a second. But then, you remember. Uncle Google can lead you home. Or can he? What if you’re in the Arabian desert?
Well, now you’re in luck. Google strapped its Trekker camera to the lovely hump of a 10-year-old camel named Raffia and went and mapped the Liwa Oasis area of Abu Dhabi—and documented the journey in the video below.
So now, if you’re in Liwa and your phone has service, you can get your bearings. Or you can just check it out from the comfort of your couch.
Take a look at this fascinating clip of a camel making history.
