How accurate is this?

27 m low This 3D map reads 3,301 m at the summit; the official height is 3,328 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 36 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	3,328 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	3,301 m	-27 m
Copernicus GLO-90	3,292 m	-36 m
