Swiss Alps, Switzerland
Ever visited the Swiss Alps? Well it doesn't matter because looking at the Swiss Alps 31-Gigapixel image � a 360-degree panorama � is like standing atop the snowcapped peaks.
The scenic beauty of the mountains is a calm contrast to the bustle of huge city images. Can you find any wildlife lurking downhill?
The panorama gives a sense of solitude, but look over your shoulder � you're not alone on the mountain.

London, England
The London 80-Gigapixel is the newest entry to the gigapixel club.
While the Sugar Loaf Mountain image has a higher pixel count, the London image is unmatched for its clarity and definition. It's also the largest 360-degree panorama in the world.
A person could waste hours peering onto sidewalks and looking in windows. The image is so detail-rich that its creators have hosted treasure hunts for dedicated virtual travelers.
This Brazil mountain is adorned with one of South America's most iconic images � a 125-foot- tall (38 meters) statue of Jesus, entitled Cristo Redentor or "Christ the Redeemer."
See Rio de Janeiro from atop this granite peak in the Corcovado 67-Gigapixel image.
