Horizon view
Horizon from Nansen U
81.5379° N, 82.6032° E · cell ZLL
- Highest horizon point
- Nansen U: 25.9° above the horizontal, 6.64 km away at azimuth 244°.
- Farthest visible point
- 7.68 km away at azimuth 66°, 19.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,997 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 4.8° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 223° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 25.6°. At 2026-10-22 13:34:12 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.
