What Google Earth Captured Will Shock The World

Since its creation, Google Maps has been an internet sensation. Not only has it revolutionized getting directions, but it’s changed how humans actually explore. With nearly every inch of the planet available at the tip of a finger, searching out the unknown isn’t just an exercise for deep-pocketed jet setters anymore. Thanks to Google Maps and its various viewing options – including satellite and street view – anybody can get a glimpse of the wide world from the comfort of their own home. You can get an eagle-eyed view of almost any historic or popular monument across the globe, as well as some … uh, rather interesting things you maybe didn’t realize exist. Not only are there plenty of amazing things to see, but there’s also plenty of strange Google Earth images that have popped up over the years. What are they, you ask?

Come with us as we trek across the globe to reveal some of the strangest Google Earth images that users have ever found. Did you ever think Google’s satellites could see car accidents? How about strange, ancient faces hiding in the mountains in Canada? What about a giant Coca-Cola sign in Chile, or capsized cruise ships? These Google Earth images will definitely have you doing a double take.
