Here is something many you might already know - you can light up the sky by making your surface luminous. The first picture below is without sunlight (elevation set to -37). The surface is luminous and no other light source is enabled.
The second picture has only the source control (visible as white globe) enabled and nothing else.
I thought about it but never tried, neat!

THis is a cool effect that i have also played around with. For more interesting results, turn on Ray Tracing in the atmosphere for some cool looking lighting :)
I'll try it tonight, if I can.
Woohoo!!

Just be prepared for a much longer render time :P
This is something I've been meaning to play around with more actually. I'm pretty familiar with this kind of stuff though from other 3D modeling/rendering programs.
I find that luminous land looks rather weird. . . and not at all luminous.
it would be cool if you but a layer of ice over it

Yeah, oggyb, I didn't try much with the terrain. Just added some weird texture.
