Highly used web locator Google map is capable enough to locate the most remote remote place of the earth, the small town of Cambridge Bay, Nanavut, located in Canada's Arctic region. The place can be easily traced through Google's Map Street service.
Google said it was successful in mapping the small Inuit town, with a population of just 1,500 by using its StreetView tricycle and the pictures will be made available online in a few months.
According to The Telegraph, cartographer Chris Kulluk invited the Internet search leader to the region.
"For us, it's like inviting people to our home, and also when there's people abroad from Cambridge Bay or Nunavut in the future they can show their friends what their home looks like and what their house is like," he told a Canadian TV channel.
Earlier in 2010, Google took StreetView to Antarctica, extending the service to cover the entire continents of the earth.
Later in 2012, Google map captured the photograph of the Antarctic huts of explorers Scott and Shackleton.
