Topographic elevation is the vertical distance above the reference geoid
, a precise mathematical model of the Earth's
sea level
as an equipotential
gravitational surface
. Topographic prominence
is the elevation difference between the summit
and the highest or key col to a higher summit. Topographic isolation
is the minimum great circle
distance to a point of higher elevation.
This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least 100 metres (328.1 feet) of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least 500 metres (1640.4 feet) of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 metres (4921.3 feet) of topographic prominence.
Of these 100 highest major summits, 71 are located in British Columbia
, 23 in the Yukon
, 10 in Alberta
, and one each in the Northwest Territories
and Nunavut
. Three of these summits lie on the border between Alberta
and British Columbia
and three lie between British Columbia
and the Yukon
. Five of these summits lie on the international border between the Yukon
and Alaska
and two lie between British Columbia
and Alaska
.
The first 17 of these summits each have at least 4000 metres (13,123.4 ft) of topographic elevation and at least 500 metres (1,640.4 ft) of topographic prominence
