Accuracy

How accurate is this?

34 m low This 3D map reads 4,001 m at the summit; the official height is 4,035 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 58 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	4,035 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	4,001 m	-34 m
Copernicus GLO-90	3,977 m	-58 m
