Horizon view
Horizon from Simpelius D
71.5591° S, 8.2898° E · cell 24DFD
- Highest horizon point
- Simpelius D: 8.8° above the horizontal, 28.4 km away at azimuth 141°.
- Farthest visible point
- 31.3 km away at azimuth 4°, 6.0° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 862 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 16.8° high at azimuth 34°, 9.2° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 11:54:44 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.
