Accuracy

How accurate is this?

41 m low This 3D map reads 6,326 m at the summit; the official height is 6,367 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 55 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	6,367 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	6,326 m	-41 m
Copernicus GLO-90	6,312 m	-55 m
