Horizon view
Horizon from Hansteen K
13.9023° S, 53.4107° W · cell 16LJD
- Highest horizon point
- Hansteen K: 9.3° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 316°.
- Farthest visible point
- 1.90 km away at azimuth 6°, 7.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,004 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 1.0° under it at azimuth 92°. At 2026-10-22 17:09:17 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.
