Horizon view
Horizon from Mons Amundsen
82.5700° S, 75.7100° E · cell BJQ
- Highest horizon point
- Mons Amundsen: 10.1° above the horizontal, 0.24 km away at azimuth 296°.
- Farthest visible point
- 3.12 km away at azimuth 49°, 4.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,588 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 7.4° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 324° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 8.5°. At 2026-10-22 12:43:16 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.
