Accuracy

How accurate is this?

25 m high This 3D map reads 6,635 m at the summit; the official height is 6,610 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model measures the surface, snow, ice and trees included, and official heights can come from older surveys.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	6,610 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	6,635 m	+25 m
Copernicus GLO-90	6,607 m	-3 m
