My time has come!
The above stereographic image is for cross-eyed viewing (most stereograms are wall-eyed, so you may need to put your finger in front of your screen until this one comes into focus)
This is an image of Honolulu, Hawaii, published by NASA. Note Diamond Head (the volcanic crater) in the south.
Here are some other stereopairs published by JPL:
Wheeler Ridge, California
Mount Saint Helens
Salt Lake Valley, Utah
Wellington, New Zealand
Finally got them to work and it 100% looks like the mountains are impossibly deep valleys to me, only the second to last looks like raised areas. Why are my eyes broken?
You're doing the 'stare through ' method instead of the 'crossed eyes' method.
If you swap the position of the left and right images it will work the way you're doing it.
Christ, I can barely keep things focused while staring through.
