Accuracy

How accurate is this?

52 m low This 3D map reads 3,151 m at the summit; the official height is 3,203 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 60 m.

Official height (Wikidata)	3,203 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	3,151 m	-52 m
