Torres del Paine 3D terrain model

Patagonia, Chile

3D terrain model of Torres del Paine with satellite imagery

About this model

The granite towers and the dark-capped Cuernos (“horns”) of Chile’s Torres del Paine rise abruptly from the Patagonian steppe, ringed by glaciers and turquoise lakes. The elevation data even reaches below sea level, on the bed of Lago Nordenskjöld.

The frame is 16 km across, centred on 50.9750° S, 73.0200° 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.

Measured on the same elevation grid as the model (Terrain Tiles, AWS Open Data). Summit heights can read a little lower than surveyed ones because each sample averages a small area.
