Accuracy

How accurate is this?

172 m low This 3D map reads 4,049 m at the summit; the official height is 4,221 m.

Why: a 30 m terrain model averages each cell, so a sharp summit gets rounded off. The 90 m model misses by 182 m.

Source	Summit	Difference
Official height (Wikidata)	4,221 m	—
Copernicus GLO-30 (used on this page)	4,049 m	-172 m
