National Geographic's Infinite Photograph

17 Apr

This post doesn’t really have anything to do with tourism, but I thought it would be a fun way to close out another week. National Geographic has created a truly amazing feature on their website called The Infinite Photograph.

Description from the Infinite Photograph’s website:

What makes up our world? Dive into this photo-mosaic portrait of the Earth to see it through the eyes of users like you. It’s made up of hundreds of photos of the natural world, each submitted by users to My Shot. (Submit a photo) Move the yellow square over an area you would like to explore, click, and go. Double-click on an image to see more information about it. Keep clicking—and diving deeper into the Infinite Photograph—to get a truly boundless picture of Earth.

Check out the video below for an example. You can visit the site and click through on your own to view the nearly limitless photos available in one large image.

Enjoy the site and have a great weekend!
