Horizon view
Horizon from Carpenter U
70.6107° N, 57.0787° W · cell 16WEF
- Highest horizon point
- Carpenter U: 6.9° above the horizontal, 12.3 km away at azimuth 114°.
- Farthest visible point
- 14.2 km away at azimuth 234°, 5.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 689 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 3.5° under it at azimuth 84°. At 2026-10-22 13:38:53 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.
