Horizon view
Horizon from Helmholtz D
66.3815° S, 54.0919° E · cell 30DEK
- Highest horizon point
- Helmholtz D: 9.8° above the horizontal, 20.9 km away at azimuth 149°.
- Farthest visible point
- 23.7 km away at azimuth 186°, 8.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,401 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 23.8° high at azimuth 341°, 17.0° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 19:42:56 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.
