Can you see Sa Talaiassa, Ibiza from Montgó, Dénia?

Yes, you can

100 km line of sight toward the east (bearing 83°), computed on 30 m Copernicus terrain with Earth curvature and standard atmospheric refraction.

The answer

Yes. Sa Talaiassa, Ibiza is visible from Montgó, Dénia across 100 km, looking down: Earth's curvature drops the target 682 m, leaving its top 934 m below eye level and still clear of the ground in between.

From the limestone massif above Dénia, Ibiza is a regular guest on the horizon: the classic proof that the Balearics are visible from the Spanish mainland.

From Montgó, Dénia, at an eye level of 735 m, the sightline to Sa Talaiassa, Ibiza runs 100 km and clears every ridge in between. Over that distance Earth's curvature drops the target 682 m below a flat-earth line, but at 482 m, it still rises above the horizon. The view is geometrically real: whether you actually get it depends on haze, not terrain.

Elevation profile from Montgó, Dénia to Sa Talaiassa, Ibiza. Like every elevation profile, the vertical axis is stretched (≈15× here), but the geometry is real: mid-path, Earth's surface genuinely stands 196 m above the straight line between the two points (the dashed arc is sea level). Light bends only slightly around that bulge, so whatever it covers stays hidden.

Frequently asked questions

Can you see Sa Talaiassa, Ibiza from Montgó, Dénia?

Yes. The terrain-limited line of sight is clear across 100 km, accounting for Earth's curvature and standard atmospheric refraction. Atmospheric haze is the only thing that can hide the view.

How far is Sa Talaiassa, Ibiza from Montgó, Dénia in a straight line?

100 km great-circle distance, on a bearing of 83° (east).

How much does Earth's curvature hide over 100 km?

At the target's distance the curvature drop is about 682 m: anything lower than that (relative to the observer's horizon plane) is hidden behind the bulge of the Earth. Sa Talaiassa, Ibiza is tall enough to rise above it.

How was this calculated?

UpToWhere walks the full terrain profile between the two points on 30 m-resolution Copernicus GLO-30 elevation data, applying Earth curvature and standard atmospheric refraction (k = 0.13), the same physics surveyors use. You can run the same point-to-point check between any two places on Earth.
