Horizon view
Horizon from Simpelius E
69.9967° S, 10.6003° E · cell 24DGF
- Highest horizon point
- Simpelius E: 8.4° above the horizontal, 23.7 km away at azimuth 108°.
- Farthest visible point
- 25.6 km away at azimuth 98°, 7.9° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 208 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 18.8° high at azimuth 31°, 14.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 14:25:16 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.
