Technology giant Google continues to marvel and dazzle with the announcement that it is to bring its Street View to the Amazon.

A small group of people from its US and Brazil Street View and Earth Outreach teams will head out into the Amazonian forest an capture photographs and moving image of never-before-seen landscapes.

Beyond that, Google is training some representatives from the Amazonas Sustainable Foundation (FAS) to continue capturing pictures and rare footage, in a hope that these images will be shared with others around the world.

On its official blog, Google said: "For many outdoor enthusiasts, travellers and environmentalists, this creates an opportunity to experience the wonders of the Amazon, which will be accessible in a way they’d previously only dreamed about.

"We’re honoured to work with FAS on this project to bring the Amazon online for those who can’t visit in person, and help our partners share with the world the unique stories of its inhabitants and the beauty of this place they call home."

Google has grown into one of the most influential multinational public corporations in the world, beginning life as a search engine.
