Accuracy

How accurate is this?

23 m low This 3D map reads 5,175 m at the summit; the official height is 5,198 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 32 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	5,198 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	5,175 m	-23 m
Copernicus GLO-90	5,166 m	-32 m
