Horizon from Carpenter W
72.3719° N, 60.2380° W · cell 15XGT
- Highest horizon point
- Carpenter W: 18.3° above the horizontal, 3.79 km away at azimuth 72°.
- Farthest visible point
- 4.74 km away at azimuth 118°, 16.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,898 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 4.2° under it at azimuth 81°. At 2026-10-22 14:33:23 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.
