Horizon view
Horizon from Nansen
81.1708° N, 95.3805° E · cell ZLP
- Highest horizon point
- Nansen: 13.1° above the horizontal, 1.60 km away at azimuth 351°.
- Farthest visible point
- 66.4 km away at azimuth 286°, 1.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,634 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 3.8° high at azimuth 234°, 1.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:12 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.

Peaks on the skyline
- 351° Nansen, 1.60 km away, 13.1° high, 374 m above the ground here
A ray every 0.5 degrees out to 200 km across the NASA LRO LOLA terrain, the curvature of the Moon included; each peak is named only when an IAU feature's mapped footprint lies over the point that forms it. Smooth terrain between samples, no boulders.
