3D-Model Images of the Arequipa Region, Southern Peru

El Misti and Chachani

The raw Triangular Irregular Array made for this region, based upon topographic 'x,y,z' data.
A full, planar view of the entire El Misti-Chachani-Arequipa region, as a shaded-in TIN image.
View from the NE, across the peaks of El Misti and Chachani towards the city of Arequipa (in purple).
View from the south towards Nevado Chachani.
The Triangular Irregular Array (TIN) of Nevado Chachani, in planar view.
The Nevado Chachani TIN, overlain with slope information for each triangle in the array.
View from the peak of El Misti to the NW, towards Nevado Chachani.
A high-angle view from the south. Both Nevado Chachani (upper center) and El Misti (upper middle right) can be seen clearly, with the city of Arequipa highlighted in purple. A color-coded elevation bar can be seen in the upper right corner of the image.
A high angle view, similar to the image above, but from the SW.
Another view of the entire region, this time from the west.
A close-up, planar view of El Misti, the Rio Chili gorge, and the upper-right extent of Arequipa.
A close-up, planar view of Nevado Chachani and El Misti. A color-coded elevation bar can be seen in the upper right-hand corner of the image.
A close-up, planar view of El Misti and the Rio Chili gorge, with an elevation bar as well.
A low-angle view from the SW, approximately the view seen from Arequipa. The potentially hazardous Rio Chili gorge is quite evident in this image.
The Triangular Irregular Array (TIN) of El Misti, in planar view.
The El Misti TIN, overlain with slope information for each triangle in the array.
Another planar view of El Misti and the Rio Chili gorge, without an elevation bar.
View from the NW through the Rio Chili gorge towards the city of Arequipa. El Misti, overlain with a geo-corrected Thematic Mapper (TM) image, is directly to the left of the Rio Chili in this image.
View similar to the image above, but from a greater distance. El Misti is again overlain with geo-corrected TM image data.
View from the west towards El Misti (overlain with geo-corrected TM data).
A low-angle view to the NW, from the Arequipa region. El Misti and the Rio Chili are overlain with geo-corrected TM data.
A planar view of El Misti, overlain with geo-corrected TM image data.
A planar view of El Misti, overlain with geo-corrected TM image data, with the city of Arequipa highlighted in purple. Arequipa is accurately positioned in this image relative to El Misti.
A full planar view of the entire shaded TIN region, with Nevado Chachani, El Misti, and the city of Arequipa in view.
