Accuracy

How accurate is this?

27 m low This 3D map reads 4,127 m at the summit; the official height is 4,154 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	4,154 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	4,127 m	-27 m
