Horizon view
Horizon from Pentland C
65.0576° S, 16.4306° E · cell 25DFB
- Highest horizon point
- Pentland C: 9.4° above the horizontal, 15.2 km away at azimuth 199°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 241°, 7.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,700 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 24.2° high at azimuth 25°, 16.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:33 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.
