A Digital Elevation Model of Heard Island derived from TerraSAR satellite imagery
Entry ID:
heard_dem_terrasar
Summary
Abstract:
This dataset is a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of Heard Island derived from TerraSAR_X imagery using radargrammetric methods.
At least one pair of ascending images and one pair of descending images were used at each location. The TerraSAR_X stereo pairs were acquired between 31 October 2009 and 14 November 2009. The DEM was created by a contractor for the Australian Antarctic Data Centre. It is ...

Refer to the documentation included with the data.
Note there is a group of pixels with positive elevation, but less than 1 metre, to the south-west of Heard Island at about 53 degrees 6'53"S 73 degrees 15'1"E. These are likely to be artefacts in the DEM.
