If you check it out, don't forget to have a look atthe somewhat hidden 3D mode. Though well made, the 2D mode is just a Google-Maps-like view, and the 3D mode is entirely different.

I was zooming in an out of the 3D image of the pearl and watching it transition between the very recognisable pearl, zoom in to see it transform into an Arctic alien landscape, and then zoom back out again to see the pearl.
