You can now explore the peak of Malaysia's highest mountain using Google Street view — and it's both breathtaking and peaceful

by Nathan McAlone on Nov 3, 2015, 11:02 AM

Google is continuing its campaign to let you climb some of the world's most incredible mountains from the comfort of your couch. This time, Google has created a breathtaking walkthrough of the peak of Mount Kinabalu, Malaysia's highest mountain. 

The mountain stands atop Kinabalu Park, which is home to orangutans and the huge Rafflesia plant. 

Google has previously given us a "vertical" street view of climbing Yosemite's El Capitan, a 3,000-foot rock formation. But the pictures of Kinabalu are more peaceful, as you virtually sit perched in the air above the clouds.

Here is some of what you can find on Google's new Kinabalu street view:

This is the gear they used to shoot the scene.



And now the views.
