Accuracy

How accurate is this?

51 m low This 3D map reads 5,185 m at the summit; the official height is 5,236 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 58 m.

Official height (Wikidata)	5,236 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	5,185 m	-51 m
