At some 10,786 m (35,387 ft) above the lunar mean, it is nearly twenty percent 'taller' than Earth's relative highest point, Everest. The summit is located along the north-eastern rim of Engel'gardt crater. Although methods of measurement differ somewhat (e.g., the Moon lacks a sea level), since its discovery in 2010 by the LRO teams, nowhere else has surpassed this region's height measurements on the lunar surface.{{cite web|last1=Page|first1=Lewis|title=Highest point on the Moon found: Higher than Mount Everest|url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/10/29/highest_point_on_moon/|website=theregister.co.uk|publisher=The Register|accessdate=18 October 2014|date=29 October 2010}} Approximate coordinates for the summit are {{Coord|5.4125|N|158.6335|W|globe:moon_type:landmark|display=inline,title}}.[https://moonsummits.carrd.co The Moon's Highs and Lows] Later meassurements put the summit at {{coord|5.441|N|158.656|W|globe:moon_type:landmark|display=inline}} and {{convert|10.629|km}}.{{cite journal | last=Li | first=ChunLai | last2=Ren | first2=Xin | last3=Liu | first3=JianJun | last4=Zou | first4=XiaoDuan | last5=Mu | first5=LingLi | last6=Wang | first6=JianYu | last7=Shu | first7=Rong | last8=Zou | first8=YongLiao | last9=Zhang | first9=HongBo | last10=Lü | first10=Chang | last11=Liu | first11=JianZhong | last12=Zuo | first12=Wei | last13=Su | first13=Yan | last14=Wen | first14=WeiBin | last15=Bian | first15=Wei | last16=Wang | first16=Min | last17=Xu | first17=Chun | last18=Kong | first18=DeQing | last19=Wang | first19=XiaoQian | last20=Wang | first20=Fang | last21=Geng | first21=Liang | last22=Zhang | first22=ZhouBin | last23=Zheng | first23=Lei | last24=Zhu | first24=XinYing | last25=Li | first25=JunDuo | last26=Ouyang | first26=ZiYuan | title=Laser altimetry data of Chang’E-1 and the global lunar DEM model | journal=Science China Earth Sciences | volume=53 | issue=11 | date=2010 | issn=1674-7313 | doi=10.1007/s11430-010-4020-1 | pages=1582–1593}}
