Google Earth To Show Ocean Floor

f1vlad writes "Google is expected to announce the addition of ocean floor imagery to its Google Earth project, which will complete digital representation of our planet. 'The existing site, to which an estimated 400 million people have had access, already includes three-dimensional representations of large cities around the world and includes images from street-level and aerial photography covering thousands of miles across Britain and elsewhere. The new additions to the website are expected to include views of the ocean, and portions of the seabed. They will also provide detailed environmental data that will enhance information about the effect of climate change on the world's seas and oceans.'"

Hasn't this already happened?

I was perusing Google earth the other day and I noticed that the sea floor was already shown with some coastal areas being VERY detailed.

check out the northwest coast of the US for a good example.

I don't know if this is an example of whats to come or if whats to come is going to be even better but I welcome higher resolution imagery of our planet.

Google hasn't updated the maps around here for 10 years . . .
