Accuracy

How accurate is this?

51 m low This 3D map reads 7,598 m at the summit; the official height is 7,649 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 65 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	7,649 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	7,598 m	-51 m
Copernicus GLO-90	7,584 m	-65 m
