Accuracy

How accurate is this?

20 m low This 3D map reads 2,943 m at the summit; the official height is 2,963 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 31 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	2,963 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	2,943 m	-20 m
Copernicus GLO-90	2,932 m	-31 m
