Ben Nevis 3D terrain model

About this model

The highest mountain in the British Isles (1,345 m) rises above Fort William and Glen Nevis. Its great north face of cliffs and gullies, and the glen curving around it, give the model more drama than its height suggests.

The frame is 12 km across, centred on 56.7969° N, 5.0036° W. Open it in the editor to change the style, exaggerate the height, turn it into a circle, or move the frame — then download it for your 3D printer, as a poster or as a 360° video.
