Terrain facts: Kebnekaise
The ground around Kebnekaise is rugged. Across the 20 by 20 km area of the model, it runs from 493 m up to 2,050 m. That is 1,557 m of relief, about twice as tall as the Burj Khalifa.
- Flat 14.4%
- Gentle 37%
- Steep 33.9%
- Very steep 14.8%
On average the ground slopes at 16.8 degrees, and the steepest 1% is steeper than 45.9 degrees. About 14% of the area is flat (under 5 degrees) and about 49% is steep (over 15 degrees).
Out of 547 places in Terra, it ranks #147 for relief, #179 for highest ground and #146 for steepness (#1 is the most). Compare the places in Mountains →
Worked out by Embossify from open satellite and survey data at about 78 m per point. The charts stretch the heights to fill the frame, and a single summit can read a little lower than its surveyed height.
Climate: Kebnekaise
The climate around Kebnekaise is bitterly cold: over the year the temperature averages about -5°C (22°F), from around -16°C (4°F) in January to around 8°C (46°F) in July. eight months average below freezing, so expect snow and ice. It is moderately wet, with about 1,139 mm (45 in) of precipitation in a year. July is the wettest month and April the driest.

How high is the terrain in the Kebnekaise model?
The land in this model runs from 493 to 2,050 m (1,557 m of relief), and its highest point is at 67.8996, 18.5135. These are the measured heights, printed true to scale.
How steep is Kebnekaise?
On average the ground slopes at 16.8 degrees, and the steepest 1% is steeper than 45.9 degrees. About 14% of the area is flat (under 5 degrees) and about 49% is steep (over 15 degrees).
How does Kebnekaise compare with other places?
Out of 547 places in Terra, it ranks #147 for relief, #179 for highest ground and #146 for steepness (#1 is the most). For scale, that relief is about twice as tall as the Burj Khalifa.
Can I 3D print Kebnekaise?
Yes. Download the free Standard Resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 16.7 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 Kebnekaise model?
It is built from real elevation measurements: open satellite and survey data (NASA SRTM, Copernicus and national surveys), about 30 meters per point. Each point of the grid covers about 78 m on the ground, so a single summit can read a little lower than its surveyed height. The shaded picture on this page is made from the same data.
Is the Kebnekaise 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.
How this model is made
Embossify Terra builds Kebnekaise, Sweden from real measured elevation. 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 heights are true to scale. The sea is flattened to zero, so land stands on a clean base. New to terrain printing? Read how Terra works.
