Horizon view
Horizon from McKellar
15.7181° S, 170.8618° W · cell 2LBF
- Highest horizon point
- McKellar: 12.2° above the horizontal, 1.90 km away at azimuth 16°.
- Farthest visible point
- 55.9 km away at azimuth 211°, 4.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 398 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 54.1° under it at azimuth 244°. At 2026-10-22 11:05:03 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.
