"Northwest Russia"
This image is a shaded tectonic map of Northwest Russia, created by Aleksey Amantov (web site: http://home.comset.net/geolmap/).

Multiple shaded relief maps (created in Surfer) that show different key surfaces of the tectonic map were imported into Didger 3. A large area showing several major domains was created, including separate platform areas that have undergone different geologic history.
