Pebble Mine on Google Earth

Alaska Trekking | Ground Truth Trekking

New!
I'm on a 9 month expedition from Seattle to the Aleutian Islands, exploring environmental issues along the way. I'll be revisiting Pebble in the course of this journey in January 2008. Follow along on the journey blog

If you already have Google Earth installed and know how to use it, click to open my tour of the Pebble Mine site in Google Earth. If you don't want to install Google Earth, see it on the web in Google Maps.

The placemarks (little feet) are photo points. Click on a foot to see the photo. Other shapes are the proposed mine footprint, and other mining claims in the area - by Stu Smith.

If you don't have Google Earth already, here's a brief tutorial:
Download the program for free here Google Earth
Once you have the program, click to open my tour of the Pebble Mine site in Google Earth, or download the file to your computer and open it with Google Earth from there. You should get a screen like this:

The red shows the approximate footprint of the mine. The little feet and little "i's" are placemarks.
Single click a placemark to pop up a window that will show a picture taken at that site (for the little feet placemarks), and read a description.
click on placemark

Double click on a placemark to zoom to the viewpoint of the photo. photo viewpoint

Use the navigation bar to fly around, zoom in and out, turn topography on and off, tilt or rotate the view, or add your own placemarks.
