Mount Takahe (3460m)

The contour map uses a hypsometric color scale where green represents lower elevations, yellow and orange indicate mid-range altitudes, and white marks the highest zones near the summit. Thicker contour lines (index contours) are drawn at wider intervals to help you quickly estimate elevation.

The contour map of Mount Takahe (3460m) uses a 100m contour interval. This means each line represents a 100m change in elevation. Closely spaced contours indicate steeper terrain, while widely spaced contours show gentler slopes.

The elevation profile is a cross-section through Mount Takahe (3460m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 3,460m. It reveals the mountain's shape, steepness, and relative height compared to the surrounding terrain. The horizontal axis shows distance in kilometers from the peak.

At Mount Takahe (3460m)'s latitude (76°), the estimated permanent snow line is approximately 300m. Since Mount Takahe (3460m) reaches 3,460m, about 3,160m of the mountain extends above the snow line. This is shown as a dashed blue line on the elevation profile.

Mount Takahe (3460m) is a shield volcano, built almost entirely from fluid lava flows. The contour map shows widely spaced lines, reflecting slopes that rarely exceed 5–10 degrees — much gentler than a stratovolcano.
