The world’s mountain ranges, in interactive 3D.
16 ranges, each cut from its real GMBA boundary and the same Copernicus GLO-30 satellite model — the whole arc on interactive 3D terrain, from the Himalaya to the Ozarks on one scale.
Open any one and it renders as real terrain you can grab, tilt and spin, with the figures computed straight from the model — its highest peak, elevation range, relief and the countries it crosses. The surrounding land is there too, in muted relief, so each range sits in its place.

Three of the great ranges
The Himalaya, the roof of the world; the Andes, running the length of a continent; and the Alps. Each map below is live — scroll to it and it boots in 3D; drag to spin it, and open the full page for its elevation profile and great peaks.
Highest point Mount Everest, 8,848.86 m
Highest point Aconcagua, 6,961 m
Highest point Mont Blanc, 4,805.59 m
