Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

The German space agency (DLR) has released a spectacular 3D map of Earth.
Built from images acquired by two radar satellites, it traces the variations in height across all land surfaces - an area totalling more than 148 million sq km.
DLR is making the map free and open, enabling any scientist to download and use it.

The public domain dataset has a 90m x 90m horizontal resolution and a 1m vertical resolution. Private datasets are available with 30m and 12m boxes.
This should improve the mapping of avalanche-prone terrain such as is available on

Good photo of all the high mountains (brown color) on planet Earth.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?
