The result was pretty good. Some information before you watch it:
- The colors are simply based on the height of each vertex, just to have some color. They are not related to anything else from the real world.

- The depressions that look like wholes on the opposite side of the mountains are either DEM noise or lakes, I have not investigated it yet
Here's the original heightmap:
