Horizon view
Horizon from Le Gentil A
74.6338° S, 52.6279° W · cell 16CGK
- Highest horizon point
- Le Gentil A: 11.3° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 191°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 9°, 6.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 71 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 0.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 92° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 9.8°. At 2026-10-22 15:38:53 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.
