Horizon view
Horizon from Saussure A
43.8164° S, 0.5438° W · cell 23GEM
- Highest horizon point
- Saussure A: 14.3° above the horizontal, 8.53 km away at azimuth 8°.
- Farthest visible point
- 9.48 km away at azimuth 43°, 13.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 2,272 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 34.8° high at azimuth 51°, 22.3° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:33:31 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.
