Horizon view
Horizon from Finsen
42.2914° S, 177.7205° W · cell 1GDJ
- Highest horizon point
- Finsen: 5.8° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 289°.
- Farthest visible point
- 80.5 km away at azimuth 170°, 1.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 5,049 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 34.1° under it at azimuth 229°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:00 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.
