Accuracy

How accurate is this?

249 m low This 3D map reads 6,532 m at the summit; the official height is 6,781 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 257 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	6,781 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	6,532 m	-249 m
Copernicus GLO-90	6,524 m	-257 m
