Here's a potential bug report, but maybe it comes down to the resolution.
There seems to be some missing data here when it comes to the north face of most Himalayan peaks (for example: Annapurna).
I am willing to believe looking south gives you the longer view, but there has to be some points on the north faces that win out for a northern view.
Fun fact, the view north is so far, clear and reliable weather-wise that the CIA partnered with mountaineers to set up equipment to monitor China's progress with nuclear weapons several decades ago.

- tombh 9mo agoI see, thanks. So my thinking is that overly dark areas to the North are caused by _relatively_ low visibility. The heatmap is actually dynamically generated for every viewport. So I agree that there has to be some amazing view from those North faces, it's just that they are drowned out by the sheer enormity of the views on the South face. If were to use absolute global values for the heatmap, then the Himalayas would just appear as pure, washed-out white. Does that make sense?
