Accuracy

How accurate is this?

96 m low This 3D map reads 2,512 m at the summit; the official height is 2,608 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 104 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	2,608 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	2,512 m	-96 m
