Google Street View Added Greenland's Breathtaking Scenery



According to Digital Marketing Agency, Google Street View maps some Greenland's breathtaking scenery. The extension of its Street View published immersive images of some of the island's most impressive landscapes.
“One of the images was taken from the top of a hill in Kujalleq, southern Greenland,” said. This images allowed users to rotate them in any direction. Erik the Red who set up the first Viking colony on Greenland founded this settlement.
He said, “he spread word of the green land among people living in Iceland on his return there in 985. Some Icelanders subsequently made the trip and decided to settle in Greenland.”

"At the abandoned settlement Hvalsey, you can visit Hvalsey church, the best preserved Norse ruins in Greenland. The church was also the location of the last written record of the Greenlandic Norse in 1408,” mentioned Alex Starns, Street View's technical program manager, in his blog post.
