Terrain facts: Ushuaia
The ground around Ushuaia is hilly. Across the 20 by 20 km area of the model, it runs from sea level up to 1,341 m. That is 1,341 m of relief, a bit taller than the Burj Khalifa. About 4% of the area is open water, which the model flattens to sea level.
- Flat 43.9%
- Gentle 17.1%
- Steep 23.4%
- Very steep 15.6%
On average the ground slopes at 13 degrees, and the steepest 1% is steeper than 45.5 degrees. About 44% of the area is flat (under 5 degrees) and about 39% is steep (over 15 degrees).
Out of 547 places in Terra, it ranks #177 for relief, #259 for highest ground and #207 for steepness (#1 is the most). Compare the places in Cities and landmarks →
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: Ushuaia
The climate around Ushuaia is cool: over the year the temperature averages about 3°C (38°F), from around -1°C (30°F) in July to around 7°C (45°F) in January. three months average below freezing, so expect snow and ice. It is moderately wet, with about 710 mm (28 in) of precipitation in a year. January is the wettest month and September the driest.

Questions about Ushuaia, Argentina
Where is Ushuaia?
Ushuaia is in Argentina at -54.8019, -68.3030. The model covers a 20 by 20 kilometer square around that point.
How high is the terrain in the Ushuaia model?
The land in this model runs from 0 to 1,341 m (1,341 m of relief), and its highest point is at -54.7121, -68.4246. These are the measured heights, printed 2 times taller so the shape is easy to see.
How steep is Ushuaia?
On average the ground slopes at 13 degrees, and the steepest 1% is steeper than 45.5 degrees. About 44% of the area is flat (under 5 degrees) and about 39% is steep (over 15 degrees).
How does Ushuaia compare with other places?
Out of 547 places in Terra, it ranks #177 for relief, #259 for highest ground and #207 for steepness (#1 is the most). For scale, that relief is a bit taller than the Burj Khalifa.
Can I 3D print Ushuaia?
Yes. Download the free Standard Resolution STL and print it on any FDM or resin printer. It is 150 mm wide and about 25.1 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 Ushuaia 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 Ushuaia 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 Ushuaia, Argentina 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 exaggerated 2× so the shape is easy to see and feel; you can change that when you customize the model. The sea is flattened to zero, so land stands on a clean base. New to terrain printing? Read how Terra works.
