Horizon view
Horizon from Abbe K
59.8159° S, 176.8579° E · cell 45EFT
- Highest horizon point
- Abbe K: 10.3° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 232°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 164°, 5.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 6,168 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 21.8° under it at azimuth 222°. At 2026-10-22 22:02:21 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
