List of peaks by prominence - AbsoluteAstronomy.com

Terminology

The prominence of a peak is the minimum height of climb to the summit on any route from a higher peak, or from sea level if there is no higher peak. The lowest point on that route is the col.

For full definitions and explanations of (topographic) prominence, key col, and parent, see topographic prominence

Topographic prominence

In topography, prominence, also known as autonomous height, relative height, shoulder drop , or prime factor , categorizes the height of the mountain's or hill's summit by the elevation between it and the lowest contour line encircling it and no higher summit...

. In particular, the different definitions of the parent of a peak are addressed at length in that article. (Height, on the other hand, simply means elevation of the summit above sea level.)

Regarding parents, briefly: the prominence parent of peak A can be found by dividing the island or region in question into territories, by tracing the runoff from the key col (mountain pass

Mountain pass

A mountain pass is a route through a mountain range or over a ridge. If following the lowest possible route, a pass is locally the highest point on that route...

) of every peak that is more prominent than peak A. The parent is the peak whose territory peak A resides in.

The encirclement parent is found by tracing the contour below peak A's key col and picking the highest mountain in that region. This is easier to determine than the prominence parent; however, it tends to give non-intuitive results for peaks with very low cols, such as Jabal Shams (number 110 in the list).

Note that either sort of parent of a typical very high-prominence peak, e.g. Mount McKinley

Mount McKinley

Mount McKinley or Denali in Alaska, United States is the highest mountain peak in North America and the United States, with a summit elevation of above sea level. It is the centerpiece of Denali National Park and Preserve.- Geology and features :Mount McKinley is a granitic pluton...

, will lie far away from the peak itself, reflecting the independence of the peak.

In the table below, where a single parent is listed, the different definitions agree; where two are given, the prominence parent is marked "¹", and the encirclement parent "²".

In the Parent column, HP stands for 'highest point on' (an isolated landmass).
