Mount Whitney is the highest peak in the contiguous United States at 14,505 ft (4,421 m), on the crest of the Sierra Nevada in California. A great gift for anyone who has climbed it, or plans to.
This is Mount Whitney as a real 3D relief, printed from actual elevation data, so you can see and feel every ridge, valley and cliff. The tile shows the summit ridge, the steep eastern escarpment and the high basins and lakes around it. The piece is shaped so that it is a hexagon tile, so several mountains can be hung together as a collection. North is up when it hangs.
