I've always been interested in Antarctica, the biggest desert on earth and one of the last place that still is a bit unexplored. Yesterday i found a cool website that gives for free a huge package of gis data about antarctica : http://quantarctica.npolar.no/
A few hours later here's the result, doing a map without forest and rivers was quite unusual. I tried to mix elevation data and ice flow speed to add a little diversity to the topography.
