Accuracy

How accurate is this?

34 m low This 3D map reads 5,496 m at the summit; the official height is 5,530 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 47 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	5,530 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	5,496 m	-34 m
Copernicus GLO-90	5,483 m	-47 m
