51.3236° N, 92.3188° W · cell 11UHH
- Highest horizon point
- McLaughlin A: 6.5° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 88°.
- Farthest visible point
- 33.2 km away at azimuth 259°, 2.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 968 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 25.5° under it at azimuth 56°. At 2026-10-22 15:17:12 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.
