The famous Space Shuttle Radiometric Topographic Mission, SRTM Data, is used to gather the elevation height for the land. Using GIS modeling technology, we applied a hill shade to visualize the shading effects (at 3 p.m. everywhere on Earth). This is most visible in the largest mountain regions around the world.

Poster Prints: Each one of our maps is crafted individually, unlike mass-produced alternatives.
Our posters are available in various sizes, all tailored to fit standard frames, we include an additional margin in the print to prevent coverage by the frame's lip.
