Accuracy

How accurate is this?

139 m low This 3D map reads 7,649 m at the summit; the official height is 7,788 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 143 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	7,788 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	7,649 m	-139 m
Copernicus GLO-90	7,645 m	-143 m
