Accuracy

How accurate is this?

117 m low This 3D map reads 3,926 m at the summit; the official height is 4,043 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 123 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	4,043 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	3,926 m	-117 m
Copernicus GLO-90	3,920 m	-123 m
