I think it certainly helps the imagination if one can use one's real life experience to picture a landscape. As we combine features of Terra's cultures for certain Gloranthan cultures, why not use features of landscape in Gloranthan context?

I am pretty sure that the maelstrom south of the Lofot Islands is similar to that before the Troll Straits off the Left Arm Islands, and that King Arthur's Seat from Edinburgh can be found somewhere in southern Heortland or Esrolia. Only the context would be different.

There are places which work the other way round: Think of the Block replacing Ayers Rock, and I imagine you get a fair picture of that area of Prax, looking from Pimper's Block. --
