List of ultras of North America explained

See also: List of mountain peaks of North America.

The following sortable tables comprise the most topographically prominent mountain peaks of greater North America. Each of these 353 summits has at least 1500m (4,900feet) of topographic prominence.

This article defines greater North America as the portion of the continental landmass of the Americas extending westward and northward from the Isthmus of Panama plus the islands surrounding that landmass. This article defines the islands of North America to include the coastal islands of North America, the islands of the Caribbean Sea, the Lucayan Archipelago, the Bermuda Islands, the Islands of Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat), the islands of Northern Canada, the islands of Alaska, and the islands of the northeastern Pacific Ocean. The Hawaiian Islands are not included because they are considered part of Oceania.

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 100m (300feet) of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least 500m (1,600feet) of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500m (4,900feet) of topographic prominence.

All elevations in the 48 states of the contiguous United States include an elevation adjustment from the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). For further information, please see this United States National Geodetic Survey note. If a summit elevation or prominence has a range of values, the arithmetic mean is cited.

Denali is one of only three summits on Earth (along with Mount Everest and Aconcagua) with more than 6000m (20,000feet) of topographic prominence. Mount Logan exceeds 5000m (16,000feet) of prominence. Four peaks of greater North America exceed 4000m (13,000feet), ten exceed 3500m (11,500feet), 17 exceed 3000m (10,000feet), 34 exceed 2500m (8,200feet) and 100 exceed 2000m (7,000feet) of topographic prominence.

Of these 353 ultra-prominent summits of North America, 143 are located in Canada, 122 in the United States, 38 in Greenland, 26 in México, eight in Honduras, six in Guatemala, four in El Salvador, three in Costa Rica, three in the Dominican Republic, two in Haiti, two in Nicaragua, and one each in Jamaica, Cuba, and Panamá. Six of these peaks lie on the Canada-United States border and one lies on the El Salvador-Honduras border.

Ultra-prominent summits

The following sortable table comprises the 353 ultra-prominent summits of greater North America. Each of these peaks has at least 1500m (4,900feet) of topographic prominence.

The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:

1. The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level.^{[1] [2]}
2. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.^{[3] [2]}
3. The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.^[4]

Denali is one of only three summits on Earth with more than 6000m (20,000feet) of topographic prominence. Mount Logan exceeds 5000m (16,000feet) of prominence. Four peaks of greater North America exceed 4000m (13,000feet), ten exceed 3500m (11,500feet), 17 exceed 3000m (10,000feet), 34 exceed 2500m (8,200feet), 100 exceed 2000m (7,000feet), and the following 353 ultra-prominent summits exceed 1500m (4,900feet) of topographic prominence.

See main article: List of the most prominent summits of North America. Of the 353 ultra-prominent summits of North America, 143 are located in Canada, 122 in the United States (excluding six in Hawaiʻi), 38 in Greenland, 26 in México, eight in Honduras, six in Guatemala, four in El Salvador, three in Costa Rica, three in the Dominican Republic, two in Haiti, two in Nicaragua, and one each in Jamaica, Cuba, and Panamá. Six of these peaks lie on the Canada-United States border and one lies on the El Salvador-Honduras border. Additional references for the 200 most prominent of these summits can be found on the List of the most prominent summits of North America.

Notes and References

1. All elevations in the 48 states of the contiguous United States include an elevation adjustment from the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). For further information, please see this United States National Geodetic Survey note.
2. If the elevation or prominence of a summit is calculated as a range of values, the arithmetic mean is shown.
3. The topographic prominence of a summit is the topographic elevation difference between the summit and its highest or key col to a higher summit. The summit may be near its key col or quite far away. The key col for Denali in Alaska is the Isthmus of Rivas in Nicaragua, 7642km (4,749miles) away.
4. The topographic isolation of a summit is the great-circle distance to its nearest point of equal elevation.
