Google has just pushed out a ton of new imagery in StreetView, including:

Canada: Great new imagery for the Olympics, using a special StreetView-equipped snowmobile!
Norway: All new
Finland: All new
Canada: More added, primarily in Saskatchewan and Alberta, possibly more in Quebec and Ontario.
Mexico: Various locations
UK: Various locations
USA: Alaska, Illinois (updated imagery in Chicago)

It's quite likely that other imagery has been added as well, but we haven't discovered it yet. If you haven't used StreetView in Google Earth yet, here's a quick tutorial on how to access it.

A couple of highlights from the imagery so far:

If you find any other areas that have new StreetView imagery in this update, please leave a comment and let us know.

Nod to 'Munden' at Google Earth Hacks for being the first to discover the new imagery.
