Horizon view
Horizon from Pentland L
65.8463° S, 17.7664° E · cell 25DFA
- Highest horizon point
- Pentland L: 10.5° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 251°.
- Farthest visible point
- 15.2 km away at azimuth 292°, 8.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,738 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 23.7° high at azimuth 24°, 17.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:25:30 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.
