Accuracy

How accurate is this?

31 m low This 3D map reads 8,136 m at the summit; the official height is 8,167 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 50 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	8,167 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	8,136 m	-31 m
Copernicus GLO-90	8,117 m	-50 m
