(CNN)An international team of photographers has published what they say is the world's largest photo, a panoramic shot of Europe's Mont Blanc that measures a whopping 365 gigapixels.

The team spent two weeks in the Alps last winter, using multiple cameras to snap 70,000 high-resolution images that were then stitched together to form the sweeping 360-degree panorama.

It tops the previous record-holder, a 320-gigapixel bird's eye view of London published in 2013.

 Photo blog PetaPixel says that if you printed out the photo at the industry standard of 300 ppi, or pixels per inch, it would be as large as a soccer field.

Wow indeed.  So is this the world's highest tower crane?
