A topographical map showing the Rembesdalskåka outlet glacier of Hardangerjøkulen ice cap in Norway. Elevation is depicted by gray contours and a colour ramp from dark blue (low) to white (high). Within Hardangerjøkulen, a dashed line denotes the extent of Rembesdalskåka. Across which are several black lines, each one with a year label (from lowest elevation to highest: 1989, 1993, 2000, 1973, 2017, 1991, 1985, 2019, 1966). Around the edge of the ice cap several mountain peaks are labelled. A scale bar in the top right indicates that the whole map is ~20 km across. Several lakes are shown in a dark blue. The title / legend in the bottom left reads: 'Rembesdalskåka Equilibrium Line'. Credits along the bottom read: 'by:tlohde / Copernicus Global DEM (ESA) / Raup et al., (2007) The GLIMS Geospatial Glacier Database / Fluctuations of Glaciers Database, World Glacier Monitoring Service / OpenStreetMap contributors'
A 3d model of mountainous terrain showing a sinuous valley with its surrounding peaks. Titled: 'Val di Genova, Parco naturale dell'Adamello-Brenta' credits: 'by:tlohde / Copernicus Global DEM (ESA)' Labelled peaks are: Cima Presanella (3557 m), Monte Mandrone (3283 m), Cima Lancia (2318 m), Crozzon del Diavolo (3018 m), Corno di Lago Scuro (3164 m) & Cimon delle Gere (3016 m)
On a black background are many many, small wiggly lines, the lines are coloured by the direction in which they go, using a circular colour map. If you know that the lines depict where water would flow over a landscape, and that the colours correspond to the direction, one can see how this does resemble terrain, with lower elevations and river valleys depicted as empty space, and ridges are where the lines of different colours meet. It is messy and quite abstract
a ridgeplot style map, showing the topography of the Parco Naturale dell'Adamello-Brenta, with a smooth colour ramp from pale yellow in the foreground to darker blue in the far-field. Along the right and left edges are names of Rifugi (mountain huts) and lines leading to its location in hills
A map of world showing only 'peaks' from OpenStreetMap. Oceans, and land are black, and peaks are shown in blue, and regions with higher concentration of peaks in a lighter blue nearing white. More than anything this map shows how less populated regions of the world have had far fewer peaks mapped
A topographic map showing contour lines, peaks, glaciers and lakes in the McMurdo Dry Valley region of Antarctica
A map of the Cairngorms national park. Black background with white national park border. Within the national park the terrain is represented by colors ranging from black through dark purples to bright orange. Brighter colours represent regions that are 'more visible' than darker regions, as these areas can be seen from more summits. The resulting sum of viewsheds bears strong resemblance to the underlying topography.
A map of the UK made entirely of points where there are trig pillars. The poitns are coloured according to their elevation
