Horizon from Pontécoulant B
57.9674° S, 58.5388° E · cell 30EGV
- Highest horizon point
- Pontécoulant B: 7.8° above the horizontal, 16.1 km away at azimuth 91°.
- Farthest visible point
- 19.9 km away at azimuth 210°, 5.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,315 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 31.7° high at azimuth 339°, 25.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:02:00 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.
