Accuracy

How accurate is this?

19 m low This 3D map reads 3,769 m at the summit; the official height is 3,788 m.

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

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	3,788 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	3,769 m	-19 m
Copernicus GLO-90	3,759 m	-29 m
