Horizon view
Horizon from Hansteen
11.5307° S, 52.0592° W · cell 16LKF
- Highest horizon point
- Hansteen: 6.7° above the horizontal, 2.84 km away at azimuth 228°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 64°, 2.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,208 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is on the skyline at azimuth 91°: part of its disc shows above the terrain (2.7° high, the skyline 2.4°). At 2026-10-22 22:02:23 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.
