Internet and Society: Over 1000 new images entered Google Earth

Google announces the biggest update for Earth View, by adding more than 1,000 new images to the collection, bringing the total to more than 2,500 striking landscapes.

Earth View is a collection of thousands of the planet's most beautiful landscapes, seen from space. 

Upgraded images are optimized for modern high-resolution screens - with brighter colors, sharper images, and resolution up to 4K.

All the new imagery is available in the Earth View Gallery, as well as the popular Earth View Chrome Extension. The gallery also features a nifty color map to help the user visualize the thousands of Earth View locations, and find a landscape featuring the user's favorite color.
