Horizon view
Horizon from Byrd C
84.3521° N, 28.3399° E · cell ZDG
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 6.8° above the horizontal, 19.4 km away at azimuth 221°.
- Farthest visible point
- 48.9 km away at azimuth 22°, 1.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,266 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 4.2° high at azimuth 168°, 1.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:30:10 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.
