Yes, it's a height field generated by Terrain Maker, which can be found at the
bottom of: http://www.povray.org/povzine/povzine3/RESOURCE/index.html
This is really a great little DOS program for generating and modifying terrain
for POV.  It includes an example file showing how to use the output.  It only
took me half a day to find it, too :(  Saw some great POV images while on the
hunt, though.

They are actually from the example file of Terrain Maker, but they're based on
POV documented textures.

Here's the code:
#declare Mysky = sphere

  <0,0,0>,0.98
  texture {
    Blue_Sky3
    finish {reflection 0.0 diffuse 0.0 ambient 1.0}
  }
}
                                      //  The sky object is just shell
                                      //  with sky texture on the inside.
                                      //  Note that the shell has the
                                      //  no_shadow modifier.  This is
                                      // so I can put the light source
                                      // on the outside.
difference {
     sphere { <0,0,0>,1}
     object {Mysky}

     scale <3000,500,3000>
     texture {
          Blue_Sky3
          finish {reflection 0.0 diffuse 0.0 ambient 1.0}
     }
     no_shadow
}

Enjoy,
