Thanks everyone. But I admit, I am feeling more and more frustrated with
this project - no progress or any success up to now.

Blender is a book with seven seals for me, cannot use it properly. And
the explanations I received, so far, are irritating me as I am not
English. I switched on the POV-Ray plugin, but don't know yet how to
create a POV-Ray scene file with Blender (mesh2).

What I want is this: being able to "dig" tunnels into these Martian
landscapes in my render scenes. I believe, these square-shaped landscape
meshes from NASA should be solid for that, am I right?
