Horizon view
Horizon from Boussingault K
68.8286° S, 50.0968° E · cell 29DFB
- Highest horizon point
- Boussingault K: 13.0° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 305°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 229°, 8.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 912 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 22.2° high at azimuth 349°, 10.1° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:44:54 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.
