For exactly 81 years ago the Daily Mail printed an edition with the photograph of the alleged Loch Ness monster. To celebrate the day, Google now public the opportunity to take part of the Scottish Loch Ness through Google Street View – both above the surface and below it.
The gynecologist Robert Kenneth Wilson took the first photo of the alleged Loch Ness monster, which was published in the Daily Mail April 21, 1934.
He refused, however, to stand with their name at the photo, which has made the legendary photo called “Suregon’s Photograph”. Since then, there have been lots of pictures.
The most popular theory about the Loch Ness monster is that it is a ‘plesiosaur from the dinosaur era, but a counter-argument is that a plesiosaur not have such a bone structure that could hold head above water in the same way as the Loch Ness Monster, or Nessie as it is usually called, is doing.
Google wants to pay tribute to the special crypto zoology day (a generic term for the study of species that have not been recognized by science) and introduces Street View of Loch Ness,
Here, you can use the tool to both explore the surface of the 37 km long lake, and watch some underwater shots through a partnership with Catlin Seaview Survey.
Google statistics shows that it takes more searches on Loch Ness than, for example Buckingham Palace, which says a lot about how much people are fascinated by the legend.
Underwater Pictures may still not have so much to offer.
ie if you are not a major fan of dark and murky water.
