Horizon view
Horizon from Fontenelle K
69.6621° N, 15.7684° W · cell 21WFQ
- Highest horizon point
- Fontenelle K: 17.0° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 62°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.79 km away at azimuth 158°, 13.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,750 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 10.2° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 124° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 15.9°. At 2026-10-22 14:25:36 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.
