Accuracy

How accurate is this?

107 m low This 3D map reads 7,920 m at the summit; the official height is 8,027 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 119 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	8,027 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	7,920 m	-107 m
Copernicus GLO-90	7,908 m	-119 m
