These images illustrate the stark difference between those taken using the old 'nine-second' (left), and new 'one-second' digital elevation models. The images were taken in the vicinity of 141E 27S, in the Strzelecki Desert on the border between South Australia and Queensland. A variety of arid landforms are represented including linear dunes, lakes and upland drainage networks. |
