Horizon from Karpinskiy
72.6094° N, 166.8014° E · cell 44XEN
- Highest horizon point
- Karpinskiy: 6.6° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 95°.
- Farthest visible point
- 93.8 km away at azimuth 60°, 1.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,343 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 11.4° under it at azimuth 304°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:11 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.
