Virtual Tours of the Appalachian Ecosystem

This virtual tour*, built with Ipix™ technology, opens with a 360o view of a typical location in the Southern Appalachians, in this case along the Appalachian Trail. When you move your cursor over the image below, the cursor will change to a hand, and you can then navigate around the scene using your mouse. Near the center of the image the cursor becomes a + or -: While the cursor is a + you can zoom in by clicking, while the cursor is a - you can zoom out by clicking.

You can double-click on or near the targets to see details about the typical Southern Appalachian Ecosystem.
