Accuracy

How accurate is this?

32 m high This 3D map reads 7,812 m at the summit; the official height is 7,780 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model measures the surface, snow, ice and trees included, and official heights can come from older surveys. The 90 m model misses by 70 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	7,780 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	7,812 m	+32 m
Copernicus GLO-90	7,710 m	-70 m
