What can you see from Mount Teide?
360° terrain visibility analysis from Mount Teide — observation point at 3,716 m, coordinates 28.2728, -16.6425.
From Mount Teide, the terrain-limited line of sight reaches up to 324 km. The single farthest piece of visible terrain lies 324 km to the east-northeast (bearing 71°), at 578 m elevation. These results account for Earth's curvature and standard atmospheric refraction, computed from 30-meter resolution Copernicus GLO-30 elevation data across 2,420,567 terrain samples.
