Accuracy

How accurate is this?

23 m low This 3D map reads 3,883 m at the summit; the official height is 3,906 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	3,906 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	3,883 m	-23 m
