Horizon view
Horizon from Poincaré Z
53.9039° S, 164.3106° E · cell 44FCV
- Highest horizon point
- Poincaré Z: 4.4° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 251°.
- Farthest visible point
- 20.9 km away at azimuth 43°, 1.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,920 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 19.1° under it at azimuth 239°. At 2026-10-22 16:42:24 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.
