Accuracy

How accurate is this?

37 m low This 3D map reads 3,856 m at the summit; the official height is 3,893 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 47 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	3,893 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	3,856 m	-37 m
Copernicus GLO-90	3,846 m	-47 m
