Accuracy

How accurate is this?

52 m low This 3D map reads 1,681 m at the summit; the official height is 1,733 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 64 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	1,733 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	1,681 m	-52 m
