The doodle was launched on Earth Day, which is an annual
event held on April 22 to show support for environmental protection. The event
was first held on April 22 in 1970, and now includes a wide range of events
coordinated globally by EarthDay.org.
This year's theme for Earth Day is 'Invest In Our Planet'.
"Acting now and together to live more sustainably is
necessary to avoid the worst effects of climate change," Google wrote on
its blog.
The first Doodle shows real imagery of a glacier retreat at
the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa's Tanzania. The images were taken each
December annually from 1986 to 2020.
The second image on Google's Doodle page shows a glacier
retreat in Sermersooq in Greenland which was taken every December from 2000 to
2020.
The time-lapse has been created using a compilation of images,
which shows several different locations across Earth, including coral reefs,
glaciers, that were collected by Google Earth.
