80.9816° S, 10.0832° E · cell BBY
- Highest horizon point
- Malapert C: 8.0° above the horizontal, 19.8 km away at azimuth 301°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.7 km away at azimuth 56°, 4.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 493 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 9.1° high at azimuth 32°, 3.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 10:51:14 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 160 m at this point and about 1.9 km at the farthest samples; nearby foreground relief is smoothed at the coarser tiers, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
