Venus Digital Model with 150x exaggeration of mountain heights. A low fog covers the bottomlands, but Venus' peaks are seen to form continent sized land masses. The digital data is from the USA's Magellan and Pioneer spacecraft and the USSR's Venera spacecraft. The Magellan data has some areas on Venus with no data, so the Soviet Venera data was used to fill those gaps. The Venera data has 1 data point per degree and the Magellan data has 4 data points per degree of longitude and latitude.
