Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Google Street View crashes Mongolia's famed
Naadam Festival
It’s no longer a surprise to find and view
almost every corner of the world by Google Street View. But have you thought
about how they do it? Some of you might have seen a car with cameras on the roof
driving slowly around the town. Recently, the IT giant has gone far beyond,
taking those map-making cameras to deserts, in mountains and even onto
Antarctica where there are no residents or streets. They are still all places.
Now they are turning their eyes into things, like historical monuments, tourist
destinations and even festivals.
Those who carry street view cameras are
called Trekkers. They go and walk anywhere to video shoot things and places.
This time, they walked in the crowd and dust of Mongolia’s Naadam, rugged
Mongolia's annual display of horsemanship, marksmanship and muscle, which was
granted UNESCO Intangible World Heritage status in 2010.
Enjoy seeing the photos of the hardship of
Google Trekkers in Mongolia.
