Eiger

Eiger stands 3,967 metres above the sea, in the Alps of Switzerland: the 31st highest of the 56 summits in this index. Its nearest neighbour here is Matterhorn, 72 km to the south.

Topography draws it the way it draws everything: contour lines every 50 metres, coloured from teal valleys to a gold summit, with water, borders and names, and nothing else. No satellite imagery, no shaded relief, no zoom slider. A handful of fixed scales, and the lines.
