Post #8 - Google Earth

For Blog Post #8, we were asked to explore Google Earth to find an interesting and unique view or perspective of the Earth. I downloaded Google Earth, did some exploring, and here's the view that I liked.
Why hello there, Antarctica! I had no idea that the tips of South America and Antarctica were so close to one another! If I was ever in Chile, I might think about taking a boat out there. : )
It's so interesting to be able to flip the Earth anyway we want with the Google Earth program. There are already tons of ways in which I've never seen the Earth when our teacher uses it in class. I think that geography teachers of every level need to stop showing the Earth from the same old distorted, stretched-out views and show how countries really relate to one another! I wonder if you can see Antarctica from the tip of South America...
