Gneiss outcrop near Parry Sound, Ontario

When running their vehicles to gather Street View data for many Canadian cities/towns, Google left the cameras running while driving the highways. This provides information that I never expected to have access to in my lifetime. You can take virtual drives on many of the highways in Northern Ontario. I do not recomend this, they are actually more boring than having to drive the highways.

These images, however, do capture some of the most amazing geology you can see from the comfort of your computer. Today, we visit the Trans Canada Highway 401 south of Parry Sound, Ontario. This outcrop is part of the Grenville province of the Canadian Shield.

The outcrop.
