Horizon view
Horizon from Saussure
43.3776° S, 3.8849° W · cell 23GBN
- Highest horizon point
- Saussure: 5.9° above the horizontal, 30.3 km away at azimuth 189°.
- Farthest visible point
- 52.1 km away at azimuth 51°, 3.8° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,415 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 32.1° high at azimuth 56°, 28.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:05:51 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.
