Horizon view
Horizon from Birkhoff Y
59.5000° N, 146.9752° W · cell 5VDT
- Highest horizon point
- Birkhoff Y: 12.9° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 307°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 148°, 8.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,763 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 31.6° under it at azimuth 352°. At 2026-10-22 13:30:02 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.
