Join us on an online tour of the world’s most fascinating landscapes
Unfortunately for Australians, overseas travel will have to remain a fantasy for the foreseeable future.
If you’re already getting itchy feet though, you’ll be please to know that there are a bunch of places you can visit from the comfort of your own home.
Join us on an online tour of the world’s most fascinating landscapes and natural features. It will never compare to being there, but it’s the next best thing. Now, let’s get virtual!
Mount Everest, Nepal
The world’s largest peak and a spiritual landmark in Nepal, there are perhaps no other mountains with as much legend attached to their fabled peak as Mount Everest.
With this virtual map you can explore the base camp at the foot of the mountain, which is located at a testing altitude of just over 5,000 metres. View this colossal mountain from the ground and watch the wind whip snow from its crags and crevices as prayer flags blow in the wind.
This is the ultimate way to experience what it’s like to see Mount Everest up close in personal. Better yet, there’s no chance of you getting altitude sickness.
The Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Sir David Attenborough called the Great Barrier Reef one of nature’s most incredible displays of colour and living life… and we couldn’t agree more.
In this virtual tour you can snorkel through the reef and witness an underwater world teeming with life. Go from Lady Elliot Island to the SS Yongala shipwreck and learn all about the reef’s 1,500 species of fish, 600 coral species and 30 different whale and dolphin species that call it home.
Sir David will even narrate the entire experience, which is guaranteed to make you feel like you’re living in a Nat Geo documentary.
Yosemite National Park, USA
Yosemite is a national park situated in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains. It’s a place of resounding natural beauty with a diverse range of ecosystems, flora and fauna, including over 500 black bears, towering granite monoliths and picturesque meadows.
One of these monoliths is the famous El Capitan, which is roughly 900 metres tall and features a sheer vertical cliff face. El Capitan has been climbed by many men and woman, but the very first climber to conquer it was Lynn Hill in 1993 who managed to do it without aid equipment (also known as free climbing). If this sounds terrifying to you, you’re not alone. The good thing is though that this virtual tour allows you to join her on a climb to the top and discover what it’s like to ascend this colossal granite summit.
See the ledges that she stops on to rest for a night and explore Yosemite National Park from up high. This is an online experience that you cannot miss.
Giants Causeway, Ireland
Consisting of over 40,000 interlocking basalt pillars, the Giant’s Causeway is surely one of the more unusual rock formations in the world.
According to legend, this part of County Antrim’s Atlantic coastline was built by giants as a pathway to Scotland. The scientific truth behind them though is much less fantastical, with researchers saying that they’re actually the result of molten basalt flowing into the sea. Either way, the Giant’s Causeway is still an incredible site to behold, even if you can only see it online.
Enjoy the expansive views of this mythical bridge and its surroundings in this virtual tour and watch the colours of the sky change as the day wears on.
Great Wall of China, China
China is practically off limits at the moment, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go on a virtual tour of this wonderful country.
Check out the Great Wall of China and learn all about this UNESCO World Heritage site, including its heritage, its history and the conservation efforts that are currently in place to protect it. There are also the mythical and awe-inspiring quartz sandstone pillars of Zhāngjiājiè National Park, which inspired the hit film from James Cameron, Avatar. Given that some of these columns stretch up over 1,000 metres into the sky, the tops when viewed from above make it look like there’s a cluster of peaks floating on the clouds.
