Take a Virtual Tour of the Great Barrier Reef

Sir David Attenborough ,the British historian — who narrated the Netflix series “Our Planet” — is navigating explorers through the breathtaking Great Barrier Reef, in an "interactive journey" named "David Attenborough's Barrier Reef."

“This is one of the most spectacular, complex, but fragile ecosystems in the world,” Attenborough said in an introduction video for the project, adding he first dove the reef about 60 years ago “and ever since it has held a deep fascination for me.”

You’ll be explained everything from how coral grows, to what the reef sounds like to the fish that call it home, as well as the effects of carbon dioxide emissions. Attenborough also hopes to raise awareness of the reef's beauty. The program is also complete with a map so you'll see how many kilometers you’ve traveled along the way.

Other popular places offering a virtual tour online include Chicago, Montreal, Chile’s mysterious Easter Island and the beachy paradise of Saint Lucia.
