Mount Everest 3D DEM - real time orbit view
Posted by smaprs on 30 May 2017 in English. Last updated on 14 June 2017.Hi, I share here a 3D digital elevation model of Mount Everest I’ve made, showing the main climbing routes and localities, with Landsat image backgound.
See and browse it at:

Hope you enjoy it.
Made in QGIS using:
-Nasa Shuttle Radar data SRTMGL1 GeoTiff image for contour lines and 3D relief model, obtained from https://gdex.cr.usgs.gov/gdex/ (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/SRTM#Official_versions);
-Background Image LANDSAT 4 Geo Tiff LC81400412016324LGN00.tif Date:2016/11/19. Courtesy of the NASA EOSDIS Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC), USGS/Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center, Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Online resource: USGS Global Visualization Viewer - http://glovis.usgs.gov/
-Contour lines made with Raster plugin from GdalTools;
-Qgis2threejs (https://github.com/minorua/Qgis2threejs), very frienldy to use (just confirm project CRS is set to EPSG:3857);
-Map data (location points and lines) from OpenStreetMap.
Thanks to members of brazilian OSM community for many tips, specially to brazilian OSM contributor http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/cassioeskelsen for helping when I was struggling with parameters, he works with and knows a lot of GIS.
