We’ve seen Google place its Trekker — a special type of camera for taking 360-degree visuals — on a car, bicycle or even a snowmobile


But to take Street View imagery of the Liwa Desert in the United Arab Emirates, Google placed the Trekker on a camel, which the company claims was a way to minimize the disruption of the desert environment



You can check out the resulting imagery — which includes 82-131-foot-tall dunes, and the largest oasis in the Arabian peninsula — here.
