The Cesium library enables to interact with 3D models of the Earth surface in your browser. In combination with the Sentinel-Hub WMS service, it makes it possible to drape any Sentinel-2 image on a digital elevation model to visualize it in 3D. In his great post about Color Correction with JavaScript, Miha Kadunc of Sinergise illustrated this possibility with Monte Sarmiento in Patagonia. Here, I just re-used his code to make a 3D model with the latest Sentinel-2 image (19-Dec-2017) of one of my favorite mountain, the Canigou.
