And of course I misspelled “Antarctica” too… that’ll teach me to be pedantic.

Rob,

In British english I believe it should have a double L, but you have pointed out that it should have been spelt with an E and not an I, thanks

Incidentally, I think the title of this entry should be “Antartica Pixelation”, unless you are trying to allude to the state in which the Google Maps chaps were when they created the section in question

Actually, McMurdo Station is down there. I have a friend who lived there. Alas, McMurdo is buried under the pixellation.

Northern Canada is like this too. See for example where Alert, Nunavut should be. Also see northern Greenland.

(Hey, the google maps search box accepts lat/lon in DMS, cool!)

Hac said: oy, what an addiction this is

I hear ya. Amm i the only one who, after a few minutes of googlesightseeing, starts trying to “drag” other webpages around, when i should be scrolling instead?

I’m tempted to add draggable scrolling to my own site, just for fun. Then again, that would make selecting text awfully difficult…

If anyone is interested, there is a blog written by a researcher down in Antarctica called 75 Degrees South. There are several photos on the site as well.
