Accuracy

How accurate is this?

66 m low This 3D map reads 1,753 m at the summit; the official height is 1,819 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 88 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	1,819 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	1,753 m	-66 m
Copernicus GLO-90	1,731 m	-88 m
