Accuracy

How accurate is this?

18 m high This 3D map reads 5,282 m at the summit; the official height is 5,264 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)	5,264 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	5,282 m	+18 m
