Google Street View Adding Polar Bear Capital On Maps

After diving underwater, climbing high mountains and going underground cities, Google is finally heading towards the "Polar Bear Capital of the world,"Churchill,Canada. Google Has partnered with Polar Bear International to capture images and track down places of Churchill to add in the street view for detail exploration on the internet. If you haven't visited Churchill, Canada , you can easily have a flavor of the city through Google Street View maps.Both organizations aim to highlight how global warming has negatively affected the polar bears habitat. Krista Wright, the executive director of Polar Bear International, wrote in a guest post, "[Polar Bear International] has been working in this region for more than 20 years, and we've witnessed firsthand the profound impact of warmer temperatures and melting sea ice on the polar bear’s environment,Bringing Street View to Canada's tundra establishes a baseline record of imagery associated with specific geospatial data—information that’s critical if we’re to understand and communicate the impact of climate change on their sensitive ecosystem.".

Google Street View team mounted the camera on the tundra vehicle so that they can take the images easily without disturbing the wildlife. According to the team the work is about to end and soon the images will be added to Google Street view.
