Accuracy

How accurate is this?

62 m low This 3D map reads 3,556 m at the summit; the official height is 3,618 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 72 m.

Official height (Wikidata)	3,618 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	3,556 m	-62 m
