Ben from maker-tutorials has a great tut for converting topographical data into 3D-printed landscapes. As he suggests yes you could use this as a record of your summit, for instance – I can also see applications for tabletop wargaming, adding ‘terrain’ to aquarium environments, or art projects requiring various terrains. Very cool:

You climbed on top of one of the highest moutains and want to make a small 3D model of the landscape?

Such a minature mountain is a nice gift for climbers, skier or a memory of a beautiful moment.

In this tutorial you will learn how you can print a minature landscape with a 3D printer and what you need to take care of.
