The following sortable table comprises the seven ultra-prominent summits on the islands of the Caribbean Sea. Each of these peaks has at least 1500m (4,900feet) of topographic prominence. Five of these peaks rise on the island of Hispaniola (three in the Dominican Republic, and two in Haiti) and one each on Jamaica and Cuba.
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.
If an elevation or prominence is calculated as a range of values, the arithmetic mean is shown.
Of these seven ultra-prominent summits of the Caribbean, three are located in the Dominican Republic, two in Haiti, and one each in Jamaica and Cuba.
