Horizon from Kane
62.9949° N, 25.8433° E · cell 26VGB
- Highest horizon point
- Kane: 2.6° above the horizontal, 26.5 km away at azimuth 46°.
- Farthest visible point
- 37.0 km away at azimuth 341°, 1.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,804 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 24.6° high at azimuth 163°, 23.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:24 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.
