Explore Mount Everest on Google Street View
Today Google announced new Street View images, this time from the Mount Everest area in Nepal. You can see the impressive mountain area and take a walk around the villages. You can’t yet climb to the top of Mount Everest on Google Street View. I’m sure Google is working on it…
