Accuracy

How accurate is this?

91 m low This 3D map reads 3,987 m at the summit; the official height is 4,078 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 97 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	4,078 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	3,987 m	-91 m
Copernicus GLO-90	3,981 m	-97 m
