Product Description
Located 125 miles from Mt. Everest and prominent 46 miles from the famous city of Darjeeling, the five peaks of Kangchenjunga are among the most remote and dangerous in the Himalayas. Kangchenjunga Main, at 8586 meters / 28,169' is the 3rd highest peak in the world, though before 1852, it was believed to be the tallest. Kangchenjunga was first summited in 1955, and barely 220 people have repeated that achievement, a smaller number than summit Everest every year. This 3D model of the five peaks is generated from Japan's ALOS satellite data, which was manually cleaned and aligned with a rare cloud-free photograph from the ESA's Sentinel-2 satellite.
Model scale is 1:150000
Model measures 9.6 x 8.2 x 3.3 cm (3.8" x 3.2" x 1.28")
Original area is approximately 14.4 by 12.4 km
Altitudes covered: 4838m to 8586m
There is no vertical exaggeration applied to this model. This is a true-to-life scale model of a real place.

TinyMtn models are most affordable in the "Sandstone" and "White Natural Versatile Plastic" materials. This model is in "Sandstone," which is a glued gypsum material. When you receive the model it will be ready for display, though it may smell funny and need some time to air out. "Sandstone" models are much more brittle than "Versatile Plastic" models, but feel more like light stone. Do not soak it in water, though you can safely seal it with Polycrylic or a similar water-based clear spray sealant. Read more about this popular material here.
All TinyMtn models have hollow bottoms - this is to save on weight, and thus cost. Many larger models also have extra flanges on their undersides to increase rigidity and strength. To make the model more solid, you should feel free to carefully pour resin into the bottom cavity, or glue a properly-sized slab of wood or another material into it.
These models have been optimized for the above materials, and are not offered in other materials for strength or cost reasons. If you need one in another material, please tinymtnbiz@gmail.com and we'll do our best to fulfill your request.
