Accuracy

How accurate is this?

18 m low This 3D map reads 2,767 m at the summit; the official height is 2,785 m.

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

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	2,785 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	2,767 m	-18 m
