I'm interested in generating random mountainous landscapes.  I've looked at a 
few sources on doing this with fractals.  The articles imply that I need
to input a few sample points of the terrain that I want to generate.  These
points would include the location and elevation of mountain peaks and bases.
What is a good method for generating these input points at random so that I
end up with a random, realistic mountainous terrain?
