Volcano Updates

Posted by Alex, Tuesday, 20th June 2006

Well that’s all the volcanoes I’m posting today, but if any of this has sparked an interest in things of a geological nature, then despair not. Over at Google Earth Blog you can find out how to pinpoint virtually every volcano on our planet in Google Earth - which I thoroughly recommend trying it out as (apart from the wealth of information included), all of these volcanoes look absolutely awesome in 3D :-D

Furthermore, with today’s Maps update, many of the volcanoes we’ve linked to over the last year are now covered by high-resolution imagery, including Mount Hood, Pacaya, Barcena, Ilamatepec and Hawaii!

This latest update is seriously awesome, so get exploring, and send us your sights!
