hmm... sounds good :)
The most complete terrain map of the Earth's surface has been published.
The images were taken by Japan's Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (Aster) aboard the Terra satellite.
The resulting Global Digital Elevation Map covers 99% of the Earth's surface, and will be free to download and use
For the Aster measurements, local elevation was mapped with each point just 30m apart.
