Great!!!
To view a new fly-over animation of New Zealand on the Internet, visit
http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm/ .
The flyover is very disappointing. Our old DEM could easily create the same results.
A bit more interesting is the high-res (4500x5800 pixel) shaded picture of New Zealand.
But I wonder what the smoothed stuff around Milford Sound is.
Probably it's due to shading/reflections of the radar beam. Milford Sound is a fjord, where you have drops from ~2000 Meters stright down to the sea! (Oh, and they have very tasty crayfish in there that I had the pleasure to catch while scubadiving...)
When will be the secenery for New Zealand be created? So we can have a look at the data at Milford ourselfs.
Ah, there's also an airport at Milfors Sound, that can be a great starting point: http://www.world-airport-codes.com/new-zealand/milford-sound-airport-4721.html
(It must be a spectacular flight to and from Milford Sound)
Not yet officially announced, but try:
