The
topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.[c][b] The
second table below ranks the 100 most prominent summits of Alaska.
The
topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.[d] The
third table below ranks the 50 most isolated major summits of Alaska.
Of the 100 highest major summits of Alaska, only Denali exceeds 6000 meters (19,685 feet) elevation, four peaks exceed 5000 meters (16,404 feet),
23 peaks exceed 4000 meters (13,123 feet), 61 peaks exceed 3000 meters (9843 feet), and 92 peaks exceed 2000 meters (6562 feet) elevation. Five of these peaks lie on the international border with
Yukon and five lie on the international border with
British Columbia. All ten of the highest major summits of the United States are in Alaska.
The 100 highest summits of Alaska with at least 500 meters of topographic prominence
Of the 100 most prominent summits of Alaska, only Denali exceeds 4000 meters (13,123 feet) of topographic prominence, six peaks exceed 3000 meters (9843 feet), 26 peaks exceed 2000 meters (6562 feet), and
65 peaks are ultra-prominent summits with at least 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence. Four of these peaks lie on the international border with
British Columbia and four lie on the international border with
Yukon.
The 100 most topographically prominent summits of Alaska
Of the 50 most isolated major summits of Alaska, only Denali exceeds 1000 kilometers (621 miles) of topographic isolation, four peaks exceed 500 kilometers (310.7 miles), 16 peaks exceed 200 kilometers (124.3 miles), and 38 peaks exceed 100 kilometers (62.14 miles) of topographic isolation. Two of these peaks lie on the international border with
British Columbia.
The 50 most topographically isolated summits of Alaska with at least 500 meters of topographic prominence
^This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least 100 meters (328.1 feet) of
topographic prominence, and a major summit as a susexxleast 500 meters (1640 feet) of topographic prominence. All summits in this article have at least 500 meters of topographic prominence. An
ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence.

arithmetic mean is shown.
