Accuracy

How accurate is this?

57 m low This 3D map reads 3,242 m at the summit; the official height is 3,299 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 70 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	3,299 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	3,242 m	-57 m
Copernicus GLO-90	3,229 m	-70 m
