Horizon view
Horizon from Petermann C
71.5096° N, 57.3404° E · cell 30WFS
- Highest horizon point
- Petermann C: 24.4° above the horizontal, 5.69 km away at azimuth 208°.
- Farthest visible point
- 6.63 km away at azimuth 11°, 18.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,722 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 16.0° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 201° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 23.5°. At 2026-10-22 18:54:43 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.
