About
the image:
This
image was generated from a uniform 3"x3" latitude/longitude grid of
elevation and bathymetry data . The data for land areas came from
the United States Geological Survey; ocean data are primarily from
NOAA multibeam sonar surveys. Arbitrary vertical exaggeration was
applied to make the geomorphic features stand out strongly. The land
coloration was chosen to suggest the lush vegetation and reddish soils
of the region. The view is from the South at about 75° elevation
angle.
