How accurate is this?

86 m low This 3D map reads 7,994 m at the summit; the official height is 8,080 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 103 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	8,080 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	7,994 m	-86 m
Copernicus GLO-90	7,977 m	-103 m
