Accuracy

How accurate is this?

36 m low This 3D map reads 1,822 m at the summit; the official height is 1,858 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 44 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	1,858 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	1,822 m	-36 m
Copernicus GLO-90	1,814 m	-44 m
