Horizon view
Horizon from Fontenelle C
64.5184° N, 27.3172° W · cell 20WDD
- Highest horizon point
- Fontenelle C: 22.7° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 255°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 143°, 18.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,030 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 9.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 113° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 19.1°. At 2026-10-22 17:09:16 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.
