Most isolated mountain peaks of Canada
Encyclopedia
The following sortable table lists the 100 most topographically isolated
major mountain peaks of Canada
.
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 most isolated major summits, 59 are located in British Columbia
, 15 in Nunavut
, 10 in Yukon
, 7 in Newfoundland and Labrador
, 5 in Alberta
, 4 in Quebec
, 2 in the Northwest Territories
, and 1 each in Nova Scotia
