What digital elevation models (DEM) power this 3D terrain?
Mountanity utilizes multi-resolution open elevation raster tiles encoding Copernicus DEM, NASA SRTM, and Mapzen global relief data hosted on the AWS Open Data Registry. Each RGB pixel encodes exact elevation in metres via terrarium encoding formulas, which MapLibre GL renders in 3D WebGL mesh.
How does vertical relief exaggeration assist route analysis?
Standard horizontal perspective views can obscure steep rock faces, serac barriers, and hanging couloirs. By providing configurable exaggeration controls (1.0x to 1.7x), mountaineers and researchers can clearly distinguish ridgeline spurs, moraine slopes, and glaciated cirques.
