These are the incredible results of Google's 'Sheep View,' which used sheep to map a set of beautiful European islands

Thanks to some helpful sheep, a beautiful European archipelago is now on Google Street View.

It started in 2016 when a woman named Durita Andreassen launched a project called "Sheep View."

The project was part of a petition to get a tiny group of islands called the Faroe Islands on Google's Street View - Andreassen strapped 360 cameras to the backs of sheep to capture photos of the islands.

Google quickly heard about the endeavor and teamed up with the inhabitants of the islands to loan out cameras to capture Street View photos. The sheep continued doing their thing, but cameras were also strapped to kayaks, horses, ships, and wheelbarrows.

A little over a year later, the project is complete and the Faroe Islands are available to tour on Street View. The stunning landscape features waterfalls, snow-capped mountains, quaint harbors, rocky cliffs, and - of course - sheep.
