Horizon view
Horizon from Saussure C
44.8592° S, 0.6766° W · cell 23GEL
- Highest horizon point
- Saussure C: 7.5° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 274°.
- Farthest visible point
- 28.4 km away at azimuth 174°, 1.2° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,391 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 34.9° high at azimuth 49°, 29.9° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 17:47:39 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.
