Horizon view
Horizon from Pentland B
66.1823° S, 13.9310° E · cell 25DDV
- Highest horizon point
- Pentland B: 10.8° above the horizontal, 13.3 km away at azimuth 273°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 97°, 5.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 452 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 22.6° high at azimuth 28°, 14.4° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 13:31:04 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
