‘Fractal mountains are generated by taking an equilateral triangle and recursively subdividing it into smaller and smaller triangles. As each triangle is subdivided, each new midpoint generated is raised or lowered by a random amount. The smaller the subdivisions, the less each new midpoint may be moved, so the overall effect is to get small perturbations of the mountain superimposed on bigger perturbations, which are superimposed on even bigger perturbations. This creates an appearance similar to natural mountains.’
