Default Views of Africa & Google Earth

http://www7.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0509/feature1/index.html

"Have you ever dreamed of Africa while reading National Geographic? The exotic photographs and thoughtful articles take you there with a magical sense of place. Today we embraced that magic by releasing Google Earth data layers that index National Geographic stories, images, journals, and even a live webcam in Africa. Just start Google Earth, enable the National Geographic layers, and begin exploring."



I was just thinking about how wonderful the photographs from National Geographic and the merging of this with with a Google Earth or MSN Virtual Earth. Well, 92,000 of these wonderfully high res images about to make it to Google Earth (try a preview of them now by going to Africa on Google Earth and zooming in on the little red airplanes). And MSN is apparently going to jump on a similar product too. Cool stuff.
