List of mountain peaks of Alaska
This article comprises three sortable tables of mountain peaks of the U.S. State of Alaska.
Topographic elevation is the vertical distance above the reference geoid, a mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface. The topographic prominence of a summit is the elevation difference between that summit and the highest or key col to a higher summit. The topographic isolation of a summit is the minimum great-circle distance to a point of equal elevation.
This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least 100 meters (328 feet) of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least 500 meters (1640 feet) of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence. There are 127 ultra-prominent summits in the United States.
Highest major summits
The following sortable table lists the 50 highest mountain peaks of the State of Alaska with a topographic prominence of at least 500 meters (1640.4 feet). Seven of these peaks lie on the international border with Canada: five with Yukon and two with the Province of British Columbia.
The first 23 of these summits each have at least 4000 meters (13,123.4 feet) of topographic elevation and at least 500 meters (1640.4 feet) of topographic prominence. See the Highest mountain peaks of Alaska for a table of these summits.
Most prominent summits
The following sortable table lists 50 of the most topographically prominent mountain peaks of the State of Alaska. Six of these peaks lie on the international border with Canada: four with Yukon and two with the Province of British Columbia. Various sources differ as to precise prominence values. However, this table is substantially complete.
See the most prominent mountain peaks of Alaska for a table of all 66 summits with at least 1500 meters (4921.3 feet) of topographic prominence.
Most isolated major summits
The following sortable table lists 50 of the most topographically isolated mountain peaks of the State of Alaska with a topographic prominence of at least 500 meters (1640.4 feet). Two of these peaks lie on the international border with the Canadian Province of British Columbia. This table is substantially complete.
The first 39 of these summits have at least 100 kilometers (62.14 miles) of topographic isolation and at least 500 meters (1640.4 feet) of topographic prominence.
