Accuracy

How accurate is this?

73 m low This 3D map reads 5,944 m at the summit; the official height is 6,017 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 86 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	6,017 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	5,944 m	-73 m
Copernicus GLO-90	5,931 m	-86 m
