Horizon view
Horizon from Carpenter V
71.9052° N, 54.6847° W · cell 16WFH
- Highest horizon point
- Carpenter V: 15.0° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 247°.
- Farthest visible point
- 2.84 km away at azimuth 21°, 10.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,585 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 2.0° under it at azimuth 88°. At 2026-10-22 17:57:51 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.
