4.3492° N, 141.5364° E · cell 41NCL
- Highest horizon point
- Benedict: 23.9° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 208°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 29°, 21.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,415 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 12.7° under it at azimuth 270°. At 2026-10-22 15:16:34 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.
