Ibn Sina Peak / Lenin Peak: terrain elevation and local relief
Ibn Sina Peak / Lenin Peak uses an approximately 7,128-meter surface estimate in EGM2008 from Copernicus GLO-30. The bounded terrain section has about 2,217 meters of local relief above its lowest sampled point. Published summit surveys are separate references.

A little more perspective
Tajikistan’s Committee for Tourism Development lists Abu Ali ibn Sino Peak at 7,134 meters in its April 2023 country reference. The selected Copernicus section reaches approximately 7,128 meters in EGM2008. Ibn Sina Peak and the historical name Lenin Peak remain aliases for this subject. The modeled snow-and-ice surface is tied to the dataset acquisition period; the neutral material does not depict current snow depth.
The local-relief view subtracts the lowest sampled point in this section: 4910.5 meters at 39.312500° latitude, 72.825556° longitude. This produces about 2,217 meters of relief within the stated boundary. It is not a universal mountain base, a route’s total ascent, or topographic prominence.
The rendered surface uses the public 2021 Copernicus release, primarily based on TanDEM-X observations from 2011–2015 with infill from other sources. It is a surface model rather than a current bare-earth survey. Neutral shading explains the geometry without claiming a snow season or photographic ground texture. No datum conversion or summit correction is applied.
