Google Street View heads for Amazon River

If you were to come up with a list of places you're unlikely to stumble across Google's Street View trike snapping 360 degree panoramics, the banks of the Amazon would surely be pretty close to the top. Yet that's precisely where the search behemoth's imaging team is currently focusing its attention. Starting off with a 50 km stretch of the Rio Negro River, the team plans to document life in some our world's most remote and richly biodiverse regions - visiting local communities, going inside village buildings and floating up and down the waterways to offer virtual visitors a unique insight into the wonders of the Amazon.
