Horizon view
Horizon from de Gerlache
88.4849° S, 88.3447° W · cell AYN
- Highest horizon point
- de Gerlache: 15.2° above the horizontal, 0.16 km away at azimuth 135°.
- Farthest visible point
- 17.0 km away at azimuth 211°, 7.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,192 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 130° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 15.2°. At 2026-10-22 10:47:31 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 400 m at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
