 Altered Earth’s Landscape Since 1984



Venture back to the sights of 1984 with Google Earth’s new timelapse tool. Released just in time for Earth Day, the addition reveals our collective mark on the planet during the last three decades and provides visual evidence of urban sprawl and the devastating effects of deforestation, mining, and agricultural growth in both 2- and 3-D. For those interested in checking out some of the most profoundly impacted areas, Google released a curated selection of videos that are categorized by theme and location, from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to Jirau Dam, Brazil to the Tucker And Whitehall Glaciers in Antarctica.

This timelapse video is very interesting but also very disturbing.
Have a fine weekend, Jacki.

Another Wow! I really enjoyed the timelapse, but the first one, after the time lapse of Bolivia, that says 2 minutes, but is really closer to 4 is really wonderful as well. Your art at the beginning is beautiful as well. Have a great weekend,
