Accuracy

How accurate is this?

38 m low This 3D map reads 2,697 m at the summit; the official height is 2,735 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 51 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	2,735 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	2,697 m	-38 m
Copernicus GLO-90	2,684 m	-51 m
