Horizon view
Horizon from Nansen D
83.8758° N, 65.8100° E · cell ZGJ
- Highest horizon point
- Nansen D: 7.9° above the horizontal, 10.0 km away at azimuth 158°.
- Farthest visible point
- 19.1 km away at azimuth 230°, 4.3° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,751 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 208° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 5.7°. At 2026-10-22 17:57:18 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.
