How accurate is this?

93 m low This 3D map reads 4,958 m at the summit; the official height is 5,051 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 101 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	5,051 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	4,958 m	-93 m
Copernicus GLO-90	4,950 m	-101 m
