Terrains
Five very different places to stand: a steaming rainforest, a sea of dunes, a river of ice, the grey dust of the Moon, and the cloud tops of a planet with no ground at all. Read how each one works, then land there and look around in 3D.

Jungle
The layered, dripping green heart of the tropics
Layered rainforest, a muddy river and drifting spores - Erg Chebbi, Sahara
Desert
Sand seas, bare rock and the art of surviving without water
Wind-carved dunes with sharp crests and long shadows - Aletsch Glacier, Swiss Alps
Glacier
Rivers of ancient ice that flow, crack and remember
A river of blue ice between granite peaks - Taurus–Littrow valley, the Moon
The Moon's surface
Grey dust, ancient craters and a black sky with Earth hanging in it
Grey regolith, craters and Earth in a black sky - Jupiter's cloud tops
Gas giant clouds
A world with no ground, only deeper and deeper cloud
Drifting cloud decks, lightning and a giant storm
