Accuracy

How accurate is this?

83 m low This 3D map reads 4,767 m at the summit; the official height is 4,850 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 172 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	4,850 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	4,767 m	-83 m
Copernicus GLO-90	4,678 m	-172 m
