Pro tip for anyone who happens to be looking for high resolution #bathymetry and #topography data. Nasa's publicly available images top out at 3.6k pixels wide, which might not be enough for say a detailed 3D model. But if you go to the web page where they're available e.g. https://neo.gsfc.nasa.gov/view.php?datasetId=GEBCO_BATHY and click one of the download links, it actually renders the data live. So if you hack the URL you can dial up any* resolution you want.
The URL for the bathymetry data for example ends with `&format=PNG&width=3600&height=1800`. If you want an image with say, 10 times the resolution, just add a zero to both dimensions.
*Not sure what the upper limit is, or what resolution the original data set is. Don't abuse it or it might get taken away.
