Accuracy

How accurate is this?

204 m low This 3D map reads 6,150 m at the summit; the official height is 6,354 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 216 m.

Official height (Wikidata)	6,354 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	6,150 m	-204 m
