I wish the map window was bigger. It's a very small size.  |

Nowhere in Malta has very high ground, just low hills. Where I live is on the peninsula between the two "1's", I'm only a 5 minute walk to the sea. My nearest Met Office station (Selmun) is situated close to where the furthest left "1" is on top of the hill.  Here is Luqa Airport, the main climate reference station for Malta.  And the whole Island of Malta (Comino to the north, Gozo not shown).  |

Well you can adjust the scale by zooming in or out and the scale is shown on the bottom left corner. So it is possible for everyone to have the same one. Hereโs all of Western NY:  Notice the flat plain along the lakeshore and then some decent sized hills in the southern tier. |

Alexandria is in a flat river plain. Areas to the west and north are hilly with pine forest.  North Louisiana  South Louisiana  |

My favourite city:
Other urban regions:
Jyvรคskylรค and its airport where the weather station is placed, which doesn't represent the city at all:
Lappeenranta and the notorious frost hollow of Konnunsuo in the SE corner of the map:
Vaasa-Kokkola-Umeรฅ triangle:
Utsjoki Kevo national park:
Kilpisjรคrvi region:

This purple-white gradient doesn't seem so effective in showing peaks. The area around my place (red spot), where mountains reach at most 3500 m of altitude, don't look so different from the Mont Blanc (4800 m) or Monte Rosa (4600 m) areas, even with a difference of altitude of 1000+ m. Also, why the highest point of the scale is set at about the height of Monte Rosa instead of Mont Blanc?   |

Jesus, is that placement even within WMO standards? Rediculous.

Finland is a lot less sea-level pancake than I thought. Though basically all of Finland was below 100m ASL

Yes, I think rozenn and alex992 too (hope I don't remember wrong and tagged the wrong people) thought that Finland is literally like The Netherlands or Denmark. The difference in elevation is usually small and gradual, but of course we have hills and valleys, as one can see on the maps. |

Norway coast at 67 N where the Arctic Circle slices through. Second largest glacier ("Svartisen") in Europe almost stretches down to the fjords to the west.
Europe's driest valley (?) with Skjรฅk village (center of map), 278 mm / annually
Sognefjord with the largest glacier (Jostedalsbreen) to the north
Fjord area in Troms, just E of Tromsรธ |

Ariete yep I think I showed surprised when you showed pics of the Koli region or something in those lines. Thought eastern and southern Finland had at most very gentle hills. My current location. SW is definitely the hillier part:  Zomming out, basically a plateau criss-crossed by river valleys:  My former city was located on a cape. The nights were mild:  Interesting topography zooming out:

Nah, I never really thought Finland had pancake flatness, I was aware that it had hilly/mountainous regions especially in the center and north part of the country. If I ever said that I was probably being a moron or messing with you lol |

Central Tablelands; Maximum elevation 1,396 m AMSL, not 1,383 m:  Red cross ( X) marks my propertyโBlack Springs to Shooters Hill; ~1,265 m AMSL. Average elevation of the Central Tablelands region, in general, would lie round ~951 m AMSL; Average elevation of the Oberon Shire (my region), alone, would lie round ~1,153 m AMSL. |

Renmark. Looks like the township and the river are at less than 25m elevation. Surprising. Actually, the Renmark town AWS which closed in 2010 is at only 20m. The black dot is the exact location of the official AWS at the airport.  |
