Accuracy

How accurate is this?

89 m high This 3D map reads 4,330 m at the summit; the official height is 4,241 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)	4,241 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	4,330 m	+89 m
