26.1153° S, 68.6408° W · cell 14JJP
- Highest horizon point
- Byrgius W: 7.7° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 84°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 105°, 4.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 69 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 15.8° under it at azimuth 100°. At 2026-10-22 13:45:08 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.
