Horizon view
Horizon from Simpelius G
71.7765° S, 22.7627° E · cell 26DEU
- Highest horizon point
- Simpelius G: 8.3° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 334°.
- Farthest visible point
- 18.9 km away at azimuth 165°, 3.6° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 74 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 18.6° high at azimuth 19°, 13.6° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 10:51:34 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.
