[–] nixy 11y ago ↗ Very cool!Glaciers can also be seen on Street View from Iceland since some time back. Here is one example, Svinafellsjokul, where I visited last year. It's a powerful sight indeed.https://www.google.se/maps/@64.0087795,-16.8807936,3a,75y,13...Edit: Here is a view from further away where you can see the glacier coming down both sides of the mountain:https://www.google.se/maps/@64.0056525,-16.9436632,3a,75y,58...

[–] srcmap 11y ago ↗ Wouldn't it be more interesting if it is captured by a low level fly by with drone?
[–] jarek 11y ago ↗ Aw, I hoped they got a camera on a glacier walk. That would be really neat.It's not quite glacier, but as far as remote places on Street View go, Iqaluit is pretty neat: http://goo.gl/maps/JxEQw
[–] sandropadin 11y ago ↗ This is a glacier in Jasper, AB, Canada as well. Very cool to see in person.https://www.google.com/maps/place/Columbia+Icefield+Discover...
