How accurate is this?

45 m low This 3D map reads 3,965 m at the summit; the official height is 4,010 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)	4,010 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	3,965 m	-45 m
Copernicus GLO-90	3,955 m	-55 m
