Thanks for the post.
Cool to see penguins, but the stitching quality is abominable.
I also like the little penguin. It made me think I was looking at a Canon wireless flash usage diagram

Thats not a penguin, it's the Linux mascot Tux.
Penguins have black feet. All of them.
Only Tux has yellow feet and beak.

Google only made the first Antarctica panoramic images that you know of. I work in antarctica and over the past 6 years have taken dozens of panos at the South Pole, McMurdo Station, Vernadsky Station, Palmer Station and many field camps. I'm just not a mega corporation and don't have a PR team trumpeting my posting of 3 poorly constructed panos on google maps. in fairness though those panos are about the same quality as google maps...
I have a virtual tour of McMurdo Station (a work in progress) at
sphereographic.com/antarctica.html

Fleetvision,
Was unable to view your panoramas except as 6 cube faces in QuickTime. What was I doing wrong?
Found a DIY solution by loading your cube faces in Pano2VR resulting in this one
panoradiant.co.uk/test/130_equi.html
Look forward to your virtual tour but in the meantime please let me know the correct way to view your stuff.
Mark

I seem to remember seeing panoramas done by National Geographic back in the 70's The viewer was their magazine. Although they were not interactive, they were still quite nice.
