I zoomed in on Denali (Alaska, USA) and pointed out a number of glacial features including pyramidal peaks, arêtes and corries. Zones of accumulation and ablation are also very clear.

It’s a free download and an excellent resources. I can’t believe how many oil well there are up in the Arctic. The plug in also show the migration route for the Porcupine Herd and lots of other information that would fit in nicely with most S1, S” and Standard Grade courses. Particularly if you use the S1 and S2 textbook. I think this sort of thing is great and a example how Google Earth will continue to be used to expand geographical education and citizenship.
