Discovery teams with Google Earth

Discovery Communications, the company behind the Discovery Channel, TLC, Animal Planet, and a bunch of other networks with the word "Discovery" in them, has brought its video content to Google Earth, Google's tenacious mapping project. Right now the content can be seen by clicking a globe icon located next to ten of our National Parks. Users can select short-form videos featuring content from that particular area. More videos will be added in the coming months, as many as fifty, and will expand beyond just the United States. Finally, you can visit a National Park without exposing yourself to bear attacks. I assume that was the point of all this.
