You may have come across the news that Uludağ appears from Istanbul in the past months, when the clouds and air pollution are the least. While some people did not believe in the possibility of this, its accuracy was proved mathematically. In other words, the summit of Uludağ can be seen from Istanbul under favorable conditions.
Then, “I wonder what is the longest distance on Earth that we can see from one point to another?” we asked and for you We explored this route.
world’s highest mountain EverestIf we were at the top of , we would theoretically have a visual range of 339 km. When you first clicked on our article, you may naturally have thought of Everest for one of these points, but you are wrong about this. If we are going to talk about a route where the indentations and protrusions affect the visibility the least. two different locations We need to handle it.
Before we get to the full answer to our question, “farthest photographed distance” Let’s talk about the records:
This photo, taken from the Pic du Canigó (Pyrenees) hill in France in June 2014, to the Tête de Chabriere (Alps) hill, holds the world record for the longest distance with a distance of 381 km.

Barre des Écrins, located among the silhouettes of the Alps, is visible at a distance of 430 km in this photo taken from the Pic de Bastiments (Pyrenees) hill in January 2015.

And we came to the last record that has not been broken until today. 443 km distance photographed from Pic Garpard(Alps) peak to Finestrelles(Pyrenees) peak in June 2016.

Now let’s get to the answer to the main question. In theory, the two most distant points on Earth that can be seen are; It is the distance of 538 km between Mount Dankova in Kyrgyzstan and Hindu Tagh (Indian Mountain) in China.
This computer simulation video, with all the necessary conditions, reveals this route.
In order for us to understand the distance more easily, on average, it is located in the north of our country. Between Sinop and Mersin in the south You can think of the bird flight distance.
This still-unphotographed line of sight will one day be a new and unbreakable record It is waiting for the right time when all the necessary conditions are met.
