Horizon view
Horizon from Petermann Y
75.7094° N, 85.6943° E · cell 34XEM
- Highest horizon point
- Petermann Y: 22.0° above the horizontal, 4.74 km away at azimuth 97°.
- Farthest visible point
- 5.69 km away at azimuth 0°, 20.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,651 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 8.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 228° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 19.4°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:12 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.
