Accuracy

How accurate is this?

203 m low This 3D map reads 6,340 m at the summit; the official height is 6,543 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 213 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	6,543 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	6,340 m	-203 m
