You really should... their resolution is 5 times higher than that of 
GTOPO30! As they are only in GeoTIFF available, you'll need a conversion 
software such as 3DEM ( http://www.visualizationsoftware.com/3dem.html ) 
to transform them into ASCII matrizes, which can be read in from PoV-Ray!

Did you research back then? Or did the 'Polarstern' occasionally pick up 
  (well-paying) tourists when going to Antarctica?

Must be awesome - evergreen subantarctic rainforest side by side with 
glaciers ending at sea level...

Do you know of other PoVers how could like to join us? There are some 
people on the PoV scene who already digged quite into Earth 
visualization, such as Christoph Hormann... but I remember him being not 
very willing to share his experience :-((

See you in Khyberspace!
