.@KanhemaPhoto carried Street View cameras across Zimbabwe in 2018, so it would have a more complete representation on Google Maps.

Now he's doing the same for other extreme locations around the world 🌍

Amazing story, via Reddit, about Tawanda Kanhema, a Zimbabwean photographer who trekked more than 3000km with a Google StreetView camera to put his country on the map. https://t.co/5HNw8FoP3C

You could have told me these were stills from a new Star Wars movie and I would have 100% believed that. (And actually got excited)

[Team Pachedu @PacheduZW]

Let's show some love for Tawanda Kanhema who mapped 3200km of Zimbabwe for Google Maps Street View.

Our "Lost mountain pass" story has travelled the world, but there is still nothing about it in the local newspaper. They are very busy covering the disruption to local traffic caused by closed mountain passes. Well I guess some things never change... 🙂

Google Street View covers most of the U.S. and Europe. But parts of Africa have sizeable gaps.

For Tawanda Kanhema, it highlights a digital divide.

He volunteered to carry Street View camera gear –– and map 2,000 miles of Zimbabwe, his home country. https://t.co/v4OAsfpaDb

The ongoing forest fires in the #AmazonRainForest are deeply worrying.
We are in touch with the Brazilian and Bolivian authorities, and stand ready to assist in any way we can – for example by activating our @CopernicusEU satellite mapping systems.

*Tap* So! Let me tell you a story.

A few months ago, I traveled to Earth's oldest desert, a place full of salt and wind and almost no life at all: The Atacama. In every way, it felt like going to Mars.
