Horizon view
Horizon from Nansen A
82.8256° N, 65.0003° E · cell ZHJ
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 7.0° above the horizontal, 24.6 km away at azimuth 44°.
- Farthest visible point
- 30.7 km away at azimuth 78°, 4.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,693 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is on the skyline at azimuth 208°: part of its disc shows above the terrain (5.0° high, the skyline 4.9°). At 2026-10-22 17:57:35 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.
