About Aconcagua, Argentina
Aconcagua (Spanish pronunciation: [akoŋˈkaɣwa]) is a mountain in the Principal Cordillera of the Andes range, located in Mendoza Province, Argentina. With a summit elevation of 6,967.15 metres (22,858.1 feet), it is the highest mountain outside Asia. It is the second-most topographically prominent peak in the world and one of the Seven Summits, the highest mountains on each of the seven continents. The mountain lies 112 kilometres (70 mi) northwest of Mendoza, approximately 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from the Argentine–Chilean border. It is bounded by the Vacas Valley to the north and east and the Horcones Inferior Valley to the west and south, and is protected within Aconcagua Provincial Park. Several glaciers descend its flanks, the largest being the Horcones Inferior glacier (Ventisquero Horcones Inferior), at roughly 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) long.

Questions about Aconcagua, Argentina
Where is Aconcagua?
Aconcagua is in Argentina at -32.6532, -70.0109. The model covers a 20 by 20 kilometer square around that point.
How high is the terrain in the Aconcagua model?
The land in this model runs from 3,402 to 6,932 m (3,529 m of relief). These are the measured heights, printed true to scale.
Can I 3D print Aconcagua?
Yes. Download the free Standard resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 31.5 mm tall, on a solid 5 mm base, at a scale of about 1:133,300. It also works for CNC carving. Use Customize to change the width, base thickness or height exaggeration, make it round or add a name plate.
How accurate is the Aconcagua model?
It is built from real elevation measurements, not an artist's guess: open satellite and survey data (NASA SRTM, Copernicus and national surveys), about 30 meters per point. The shaded picture on this page is made from the same data.
Is the Aconcagua model free?
The Standard resolution model is free as STL, 3MF, Colored 3MF, OBJ and a 16-bit heightmap. High resolution samples the place about ten times more finely and is a paid upgrade.
What is a Aconcagua terrain model good for?
People use it as a memento of a climb, a gift for a mountaineer or a ski-trip souvenir.
About this terrain model
Embossify Terra builds Aconcagua, Argentina from real measured elevation, not an artist's guess. Outside the United States the heights come from open satellite and survey data (NASA SRTM, Copernicus and national surveys), about 30 meters per point.
The model covers a 20 by 20 kilometer square centered on -32.6532, -70.0109. It prints 150 mm (5.9 in) wide on a solid base, a scale of about 1:133,300. The heights are true to scale. The sea is flattened to zero, so land stands on a clean base.
