Explore the World from Above

The View from Above is a very beautifully realized promotional website from the Emirates airline. The website consists of a number of aerial videos of locations around the world, which you access from a 3D interactive globe. The aerial videos are themselves pretty wonderful but what I really like about this site is the map markers and the transition between the markers and the actual videos.
