For a truly *realistic* shape, just use a plain sphere and bump mapping - you'll
not notice the difference anyway. We're talking about roughly 1.4/1000th of the
radius.
If you need to zoom in to such a scale that size does matter, you may want to go
for a classic height field based on a subsection of the image.
