Accuracy

How accurate is this?

40 m high This 3D map reads 3,805 m at the summit; the official height is 3,765 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model measures the surface, snow, ice and trees included, and official heights can come from older surveys.

Official height (Wikidata)	3,765 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	3,805 m	+40 m
