Now, on Earth, the highest point is at the summit of Mount Everest, which is 8,848 meters (29,029 feet) above sea level. Well, the lunar highest point is 1938 meters higher than that of the Earth. The LOLA team have first narrowed the spot to a small area, and the LROC team commanded a NAC stereo pair on August 12, 2010, to get an even higher resolution measurement of the raising and coordinates of the highest point.
