The
topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.[2][1] The
second table below ranks the 13 major summits of Hawaiʻi by topographic prominence.
The
topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.[3] The
third table below ranks the 13 major summits of Hawaiʻi by topographic isolation.
Of the 13 major summits of Hawaiʻi, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa exceed 4000 meters (13,123 feet) elevation, Haleakalā exceeds 3000 meters (9843 feet), Hualalai exceeds 2000 meters (6562 feet), and 11 peaks exceed 1000 meters (3281 feet) elevation.
Four of these peaks rise on the island of Hawaiʻi, two on Maui, two on Kauaʻi, two on Molokaʻi, two on Oʻahu, and one on Lānaʻi.
Of the 13 major summits of Hawaiʻi, Mauna Kea exceeds 4000 meters (13,123 feet) of topographic prominence, Haleakalā exceeds 3000 meters (9843 feet), Mauna Loa exceeds 2000 meters (6562 feet),
six peaks are ultra-prominent summits with more than 1500 meters (4921 feet), and eight peaks exceed 1000 meters (3281 feet) of topographic prominence.
Of the 13 major summits of Hawaiʻi, Mauna Kea has 3947 kilometers (2453 miles) of topographic isolation and four peaks exceed 100 kilometers (62.14 miles) of topographic isolation.
The 13 highest summits of Hawaiʻi 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 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.
^Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain on Earth as measured from base to summit. The
shield volcano sits on the ocean floor at a depth of 5998 meters (19,678 feet) for a total height of 10,205.3 meters (33,482 feet).
^The
shield volcanoMauna Loa is the second most voluminous mountain on Earth with an estimated volume of 74,000 cubic kilometres (18,000 cu mi), or enough material to fill the
Grand Canyon more than 18 times
^The summit of
Haleakalā is the highest point of the island of
Maui and the westernmost 3000 meter (9842.5-foot) summit of the
United States.
^The summit of
Kawaikini is the highest point of the island of
Kauaʻi.
^The summit of
Kamakou is the highest point of the island of
Molokaʻi.
^The summit of
Kaʻala is the highest point of the island of
Oʻahu.
