Horizon view
Horizon from Von Zeipel
42.1924° N, 141.9254° W · cell 5TGS
- Highest horizon point
- Von Zeipel: 12.0° above the horizontal, 0.95 km away at azimuth 153°.
- Farthest visible point
- 44.5 km away at azimuth 203°, 5.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 60 m above the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is below the horizon: 49.1° under it at azimuth 355°. At 2026-10-22 11:06:23 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.
