[QUOTE]Artist Peter Wegner’s “Buildings Made of Sky” photo series lets you look at New York City from a fascinating new perspective—by simply inverting pictures of the city’s skyscrapers, he reveals an “invisible city” hidden within the physical one.
The empty spaces between the real buildings are surprisingly shaped like skyscrapers that look like they are made of blue sky and fluffy clouds, a red sunrise or sunset, depending on the time of the day.[/QUOTE]

it would be cool to explore the depths of Everest, or climb to the very peak of the Marianas trench

This is an abandoned Soviet Space Shuttle in the Baikonur Cosmodrome, located in the center of Kazakhstan.

i'd love to take a trip to kazakhstan just for a chance to get a piece off that shuttle.

However you would then wish to invert the Earth, and explore the depths of the Marianas and climb to the peak of Everest.

There was more than one Soviet space shuttle, but only one, the now-destroyed Buran, ever went into space. There was also OK-GLI, an atmosperic testbed currently in a museum, and several smaller/unfitted testbeds.

I think the one in the image, though, was the original Buran prior to its destruction.

I use a variant of this for my Pathfinder custom setting. I took Earth, inverted it, rotated it 90 degrees (North became East), and then squiggled all the coastlines, changed the arctic and tropical climates, recalculated hadley cells and wind patterns, traced new rivers, and ended up with a whole new world.
Then I built a bunch of cities, dug massive dwarf-caverns, and crashed the Plane of Shadow into what used to be the mid-Atlantic, then built some new cities on top of it all. Then I named everything different, mostly in Esperanto to make things interesting.
Since it was all drawn by hand, it didn't come out nearly like this. I also tried to keep the ocean volume roughly the same, rather than keeping the coastlines, so the oceans are a lot bigger.
I'm still waiting for any of the players to notice that's how I did it.

I'd love to see that.

The isostatic principle would make that earth tear itself apart in no time. YOu'd get MASSIVE earthquakes for the next few thousand years, especially around western America and central Europe would turn into a massive area of volcanic activity since for historical reason the area around it has deep Moho layers yet Germany and France are above a quite hot region.

So remember eons ago when I talked about Mount Tongariro, the mountain in the middle of New Zealand next to Mount Doom?
Well I went back there just this week.
This is looking to the northwest from the start of the second leg of the hike.

Looking east from a spot near the summit.

The acidic Sulphur pits.

And finally, a panorama. The big hill on the left is the summit of Tongariro. The mountain on the right is Mount Ngauruhoe, also known as Mount Doom.
[t]http://i.imgur.com/U5ZgODn.jpg[/t]
Every single mountain in the range is an active volcano and Tongariro is, in fact, still in the process of venting after an eruption in 2012. I didn't catch a photo of the vents though.
In all, the hike was 19.5km from one side of the mountain to the other. We also estimated that you could see for about 200-400km in all directions from the mountain, or almost enough to see a full half of New Zealand at once.

It was hand-drawn (well, SVG drawn with a mouse), and rather poorly if judged by how well it looks like a rotated and inverted Earth (I basically skipped Africa completely, Eurasia is a mess and even the Americas look stretched). What I did was start with the mountain ranges where the depths currently are, then started making oceans from there, aiming for a similar volume of total water.
I think it stands well on its own, though. Earth was the basis - inverting and rotating was a means of building a realistic but novel world, not an end goal in itself.
[url=http://i.imgur.com/3Sf1w8O.png]Here's the map, marking where the Band of Bastards got their start[/url]. They're currently in Malsekavojo, probably going to leave as soon as they shake the city guard. Their end goal is Excalsion, the flying magic city. I don't know myself which route they'll take there - both East and West would be about as fast.

We might never break it, but we will surely reach it at some point.
Be it through science or the death and rebirth of the universe physically slinging our every atom at great speeds.
