Google Earth is an invaluable tool for learning more about this fantastic world of ours. It can transport users to places that most could only experience in 2-D up until five short years ago. Using Google Earth, we can stand in the middle of Pompei and look up at Mount Vesuvius or see Mount Everest from basecamp. We can spin around and zoom in and out. The world is at our command. Enjoy these nine amazing mountains as seen through Google Earth.
