![Map of all cliffs taller than 400m [OC]](https://www.europesays.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/iuwhpr52bujd1-1920x1024.jpeg)

My algorithm scans topography maps for steep altitude changes. I defined cliffs as a grade of more than 300%. All code can be found here: https://github.com/haraschax/cliff-finder
I used the “Copernicus GLO-30” dataset.

This is pretty cool. I assume the size of the circle is analogous to the height of the cliff. Naturally I want to zoom in on the tallest 🙂
Is this the plague inc map?
Point of contact of tectonic plates?
This is an amazing map. Was it challenging to define how a feature could be either counted as a single cliff or split into multiple cliffs? For example, I see four cliffs counted in the Grand Canyon, how were those separated out?
Based on this map, I imagine Greenland looks like a Minecraft chunk error from the east.
Very cool. I know at least one instance that is missing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slieve_League
Slieve League in Ireland is the second highest sea cliffs in Europe
Why 400m and not another height?
This list is definitely not exhaustive. I know of one in my area that is not listed but should be. Assuming there are many more.
(Notch Peak, Utah) In case you’re wondering
On mobile (iOS) as soon as I try to zoom in, I get “a problem repeatedly occurred” (safari) or “can’t open this page” (chrome).
Maybe it’s just the Reddit kiss of death, DDOS, if this post is popular
Might want to share this on r/mountaineering they might like a map like this
