Accuracy

How accurate is this?

277 m low This 3D map reads 5,817 m at the summit; the official height is 6,094 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 291 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	6,094 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	5,817 m	-277 m
Copernicus GLO-90	5,803 m	-291 m
