Stunning timelapse shows how the Earth's surface has changed since 1984

Google releases clever video after teaming up with Nasa and Time magazine


"It's no secret that landscapes change over time, but Google has managed to capture the development of the earth's surface in a clever timelapse video.

Using satellite images gathered by Nasa and taken since 1984, Google removed cloud cover and filled in missing pixels to produce moving images showing the evolution of our planet.

Hongkongers can zoom in on different areas of the region and watch as Victoria Harbour shrinks through reclamation. They can also see the power station changing the shape of Lamma Island as well as the appearance of Hong Kong airport on Chek Lap Kok, and the growth of Shenzhen."


The interactive timelapse Google world map is here:

Zoom in on Hong Kong and explore the many changes since 1987, year by year.

I've zoomed in on Lamma and created a little animation by cutting and pasting the yearly frames. Focus on the Power Station expansions, the YSW Harbour reclamation, phase I, and the greening of the former Lamma Quarry:
