Horizon view
Horizon from Amundsen
84.4398° S, 83.0691° E · cell BGN
- Highest horizon point
- Amundsen: 11.3° above the horizontal, 2.88 km away at azimuth 108°.
- Farthest visible point
- 58.8 km away at azimuth 52°, 2.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,566 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 5.5° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 318° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 6.1°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:57 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
