About this terrain model
Embossify Terra builds Aoraki / Mount Cook, New Zealand 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 -43.5950, 170.1418. 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.
