Explore the Soccer Stadiums in 3D
We're proud to feature 3D models of all ten stadiums and nine host cities in South Africa. Travel there virtually by downloading this 3D tour (Earth logo) to explore the stadiums in Google Earth or by checking them out using Earth view in Google Maps. You can also watch this video to fly to all the stadiums and see the surrounding areas. Goooaaal!

World Oceans Day Celebration
We celebrated World Oceans Day on June 8th by remembering some of Jacques Cousteau's wonderful underwater films. Follow Captain Cousteau by taking a tour of ten locations in our Ocean Showcase. We also added a new Hope Spots tour to the Ocean Showcase, where you can visit five more special places with Sylvia Earle’s Mission Blue foundation. Dive deeper on your own using Google Earth!

New and Updated Imagery
New and updated imagery was added to Google Earth in June, including high-resolution aerial updates for the USA, Netherlands, South Africa, and New Zealand. Many coutries also received high-resolution satellite updates. In addition, there's now historical imagery for the flooding that occurred in Nashville. Take a look at these changes and many more (marked in red) in our update post here, or view this file (Earth logo) directly in Google Earth.
