Horizon view
Horizon from Nansen F
84.9523° N, 62.4442° E · cell ZFK
- Highest horizon point
- Nansen F: 6.1° above the horizontal, 29.0 km away at azimuth 316°.
- Farthest visible point
- 36.3 km away at azimuth 338°, 4.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,135 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 3.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 202° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 4.1°. At 2026-10-22 11:54:59 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.
