[OC] Hi everyone! This is a 3D rendered elevation I have just finished of Austurland, the eastern region of Iceland, based on a 1988 original map by the Geodætisk Institut. I wanted to share it with you.

Here you’ll find some more info about the project:
The original map can be found in high resolution at the [Global Volcanism Program website](https://volcano.si.edu/) by the Smithsonian Institution, a huge repository of volcano-related data around the world, including thousands of maps.
Under [this](http://atlas.lmi.is/mapview/?application=DEM) link, you’ll see the available elevation data for Iceland at a resolution, if I remember correctly, of 10 metres.
To achieve these results, I used QGIS and Blender, both of them open source, plus some Photoshop in order to adjust lights and tones a bit.
By zooming the image you’ll be able to see the map in the highest quality possible Reddit allowed me. Feel free to download it, print it or whatever you fancy.
Of course, if you have any questions or suggestions, if you have ever been in this area and have some story to tell, feel free to share. I’ll try to be around and answer to everyone 🙂
Thanks a lot!
