Google Earth Timelapse is a global, zoomable video made from satellite images that shows how the Earth’s surface has changed since 1984. You can fly to any place on the planet and watch decades of change unfold, from retreating glaciers to mining and construction.
One striking example is the Jumpinpin channel between North and South Stradbroke Islands in Queensland, where the timelapse shows three decades of sand being pushed around the sandbanks and the tip of South Stradbroke Island.
