66.9897° S, 135.0484° W · cell 6DFJ
- Highest horizon point
- Dawson: 12.1° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 215°.
- Farthest visible point
- 21.8 km away at azimuth 11°, 6.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,253 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 21.5° under it at azimuth 173°. At 2026-10-22 16:14:49 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.
