Accuracy

How accurate is this?

20 m low This 3D map reads 7,865 m at the summit; the official height is 7,885 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 40 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	7,885 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	7,865 m	-20 m
Copernicus GLO-90	7,845 m	-40 m
