Horizon view
Horizon from Nansen C
83.4421° N, 55.4214° E · cell ZGH
- Highest horizon point
- An unnamed point: 8.3° above the horizontal, 18.3 km away at azimuth 217°.
- Farthest visible point
- 32.7 km away at azimuth 147°, 2.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,970 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.9° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 198° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 5.4°. At 2026-10-22 17:57:32 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.
