What can you see from Glacier Peak?
360° terrain visibility analysis from Glacier Peak — observation point at 3,219 m, coordinates 48.1114, -121.1127.
From Glacier Peak, the terrain-limited line of sight reaches up to 282 km. The single farthest piece of visible terrain lies 282 km to the west-northwest (bearing 297°), at 1,560 m elevation. These results account for Earth's curvature and standard atmospheric refraction, computed from 30-meter resolution Copernicus GLO-30 elevation data across 1,545,712 terrain samples.
