Horizon from Pontécoulant E
60.5059° S, 64.9516° E · cell 31EFG
- Highest horizon point
- Pontécoulant E: 6.6° above the horizontal, 18.0 km away at azimuth 191°.
- Farthest visible point
- 26.5 km away at azimuth 298°, 4.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,089 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 28.1° high at azimuth 333°, 23.7° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:38 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.
