As far as I know, the raw data for making maps for Sturmovik is downloaded from this site:

http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/SELECTION/inputCoord.asp

and as you can see, for some reason neither the Arctic nor Antarctic are available ... don't know why, but there it is.

That's because the Space Shuttle orbit did not pass over ther Poles. The SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) onboard of the Space Shuttle was used to make those maps.

SRTM = Shuttle Radar Topography Mission
