Friend builds app to help find climbers lost in Peru

I'm quite amazed that this is even possible to do, as it needs recent satellite imagery both from after they allegedly hiked there and from shortly before, to be able to make comparisons.

Is there some place where one can check the recency of all the available sources of satellite imagery from all over the world?

This is great. Really clever idea.

But the Space bar for showing before/after doesn't work on Safari or Chrome.

Sad news: the lost climbers, Gil and Ben, have been found dead. (See OP link for more.)
