The flyover is very disappointing. Our old DEM could easily create the
same results.

A bit more interesting is the high-res (4500x5800 pixel) shaded picture
of New Zealand.

But I wonder what the smoothed stuff around Milford Sound is.

Probably it's due to shading/reflections of the radar beam. Milford
Sound is a fjord, where you have drops from ~2000 Meters stright down to
the sea! (Oh, and they have very tasty crayfish in there that I had the
pleasure to catch while scubadiving...)

When will be the secenery for New Zealand be created? So we can have a
look at the data at Milford ourselfs.

Ah, there's also an airport at Milfors Sound, that can be a great
starting point:

(It must be a spectacular flight to and from Milford Sound)

CU,
Christian
