How accurate is this?

57 m low This 3D map reads 6,132 m at the summit; the official height is 6,189 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 81 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	6,189 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	6,132 m	-57 m
Copernicus GLO-90	6,108 m	-81 m
