Accuracy

How accurate is this?

69 m low This 3D map reads 3,906 m at the summit; the official height is 3,975 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 83 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	3,975 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	3,906 m	-69 m
