From the oceans deep to the Antarctic to the Pyramids of Giza, Google has mapped some of the world’s most treasured and remote places. Now, it’s hoping to unlock a legend: Nessie.

Tuesday’s doodle honours the mythical monster, who shot to global fame after a “photo” of her appeared 81 years ago Tuesday.
