Accuracy

How accurate is this?

97 m low This 3D map reads 4,185 m at the summit; the official height is 4,282 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 107 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	4,282 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	4,185 m	-97 m
Copernicus GLO-90	4,175 m	-107 m
