What can you see from Mount Kosciuszko?
360° terrain visibility analysis from Mount Kosciuszko — observation point at 2,236 m, coordinates -36.4560, 148.2636.
From Mount Kosciuszko, the terrain-limited line of sight reaches up to 173 km. The single farthest piece of visible terrain lies 173 km to the north-northwest (bearing 339°), at 470 m elevation. These results account for Earth's curvature and standard atmospheric refraction, computed from 30-meter resolution Copernicus GLO-30 elevation data across 1,674,495 terrain samples.
