Accuracy

How accurate is this?

32 m low This 3D map reads 3,222 m at the summit; the official height is 3,254 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 47 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	3,254 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	3,222 m	-32 m
Copernicus GLO-90	3,207 m	-47 m
