ETOPO1 (2008), a global database, with a horizontal grid spacing of 1 arc-min (approximately 2km).
There are two versions: the "Ice Surface" version (tops of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets) and the "Bedrock" version (bedrock). As the previous versions ETOPO2 are "Ice Surface" data types, only the "Ice Surface" version is proposed here.
