Horizon view
Horizon from Nansen E
83.3631° N, 72.7024° E · cell ZHK
- Highest horizon point
- Nansen E: 12.2° above the horizontal, 7.76 km away at azimuth 274°.
- Farthest visible point
- 19.2 km away at azimuth 30°, 4.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,206 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.1° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 214° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 6.7°. At 2026-10-22 16:16:21 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.
