It's hard to believe that Google's Street View has been in use for over four years. What's more amazing, perhaps, given the rate at which they have canvassed the world's streets and alleyways, that there is anywhere left unmapped. But while their teams have successfully traced the surfaces of most large cities and a number of other interesting areas, I suppose it won't come as a surprise that the remote reaches of the Amazon have not yet been put under the lens.They aim to change that, however, and have detailed in a blog post their plans to Street-View-ize a large section of the river. It's being done in collaboration with the Foundation for a Sustainable Amazon, a nonprofit working in the area.
