*bump*
Why are the north and south poles not visualized on google earth? Presumably there are satellite images of those locations......

[Kymmy]

High altitude pictures of white snow and ice... Probably not a lot to see...

Hom3r owes me a new keyboard after I clicked on the google earth link for area 51

I thought that but it wouldn't hurt them to put the images up anyway so why the hell didn't they?

[Kymmy]

Probably because the planes the companies use to do the mapping are not suitable to go over the poles..

[Ramrod]

Is it not done by satellite?

[Stuart]

To some extent, but for close up stuff, they use planes (AFAIK)

[Ramrod]

Fair nuff, but if they can't fly planes over the north pole then use satellite data.
Take a look, it's really strange how google earth just stops at a radius of 823 km
from the south pole.

Perhaps Superman doesn't want his Fortress Of Solitudeâ„¢ photographed?
