The Grand Canyon in the American state of Arizona, which many people offer to rank to wonders of the world, now can be visited from the comfort of home.  Google as part of its project to create a ph-on attractions and video dose of planet sights managed to completely capture this amazing beauty and grandeur of nature.

The plans for the detailed photograph of the Grand Canyon Google have been announced earlier this year, but the first images began to appear in the Internet only recently. Today for full coverage, 360 degrees are available to the main road entrance to the Grand Canyon National Park. In addition, Google Maps added more than a hundred pictures of the canyon taken both from the ground and from the airplane. But independently to "fly" through the national park is not possible. Only in certain areas, you can sort of look around, making a smooth transition from one photo to another.

However, the possibilities of the internet-travelers will be significantly expanded. As explained by the manager Ryan Feylor, it takes time to "stitch the images together". The shooting was conducted with 15 high-definition cameras, taken pictures every 2.5 seconds.
