Accuracy

How accurate is this?

97 m low This 3D map reads 5,663 m at the summit; the official height is 5,760 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 105 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	5,760 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	5,663 m	-97 m
Copernicus GLO-90	5,655 m	-105 m
