The Matterhorn, which juts out a full kilometer above the surrounding Swiss Alps, dominates the local skyline and has challenged countless mountaineers since it was first scaled in 1865. Now this iconic peak has been mapped in unprecedented detail by a fleet of autonomous, fixed-wing drones, flung into the sky from the summit by their makers. What’s more, the entire process took just 6 hours. According to New Scientist the mapping, which was unveiled at the Drones and Aerial Robotics Conference in New York City last weekend, was carried out by unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) company SenseFly, and aerial photography company Pix4D.

The Matterhorn is an imposing mountain, reaching 14,960 feet into the air,rctophobby shop online, amidst the Pennine Alps. It’s one of the highest peaks in the Alps and claimed the lives of 500 men before the first was able to reach the top.
