25:["$","title",null,{"children":"Korolev crater | Philippe Deschaseaux | Observable"}] 4b:T79a,Given [my previous work on terrestrial and martian elevation data visualization](https://beta.observablehq.com/@ehouais/heightmap-rendering-using-a-floorcasting-algorithm), I was tempted at recreating this view and make it explorable.
