Horizon view
Horizon from Malapert K
78.7036° S, 6.3727° E · cell 24CEQ
- Highest horizon point
- Malapert K: 9.1° above the horizontal, 17.1 km away at azimuth 93°.
- Farthest visible point
- 21.8 km away at azimuth 314°, 5.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 914 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 10.7° high at azimuth 35°, 5.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:54:43 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.
