Google has removed images on Street View that allowed people to virtually walk to the summit of Uluru, in Australia’s Northern Territory.
Parks Australia had requested user-generated images from the sacred site be immediately removed.
And Google said it had removed them as soon as it had been alerted.
Uluru was closed to visitors a year ago at the request of the indigenous Anangu people, to whom the Australian government returned ownership in 1985.
Once better-known internationally as Ayers Rock, it is linked to many traditional stories of the Anangu.
Google’s Street View function provides 360-degree images of different environments, alongside people’s own pictures.
