The digital terrain model of Greenland is constructed on the basis of GEUS's topographic datasets from the official geological maps of Greenland in scale ratio 1:100.000 and 1:500.000. The DEM is created using an interpolation method called Topo to Raster function in ArcGIS Desktop which is primarily supported by contour lines, coastlines and elevation points. The creation of the DEM was divided into in sub-areas based on the map sheet frames from the geological map of Greenland in 1:500.000 scale and assembled as a raster mosaic. The DEM was created with the spatial coordinate reference system WGS 1984 / UTM Zone 24N Complex with a resolution of a 100x100 meter grid. Based on the final DEM, a hillshade efect of the terrain has been constructed.
