Accuracy

How accurate is this?

198 m low This 3D map reads 3,792 m at the summit; the official height is 3,990 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 210 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	3,990 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	3,792 m	-198 m
Copernicus GLO-90	3,780 m	-210 m
