Accuracy

How accurate is this?

36 m low This 3D map reads 3,025 m at the summit; the official height is 3,061 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 48 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	3,061 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	3,025 m	-36 m
Copernicus GLO-90	3,013 m	-48 m
