Accuracy

How accurate is this?

25 m low This 3D map reads 2,902 m at the summit; the official height is 2,928 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 41 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	2,928 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	2,902 m	-25 m
Copernicus GLO-90	2,886 m	-41 m
