The
topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.[2][3] The
second table below ranks the 50 most prominent summits of Canada.
The
topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.[4] The
third table below ranks the 50 most isolated major summits of Canada.
Of the 100 highest major summits of Canada, five peaks exceed 5000 metres (16,404 feet) elevation, 19 peaks exceed 4000 metres (13,123 feet), 67 peaks exceed 3000 metres (9843 feet), and all 100 peaks equal or exceed 2706 metres (8878 feet) elevation.
Of these 100 peaks, 61 are located in British Columbia, 28 in Yukon, 13 in Alberta, and one in the Northwest Territories. Five of these peaks lie on the international border between Yukon and Alaska, four lie on the international border between British Columbia and Alaska, three lie on the border between British Columbia and Alberta, and one lies on the border between British Columbia and Yukon.
The 100 highest summits of Canada with at least 500 metres of topographic prominence
Of the 50 most prominent summits of Canada, only Mount Logan exceeds 4000 metres (13,123 feet) of topographic prominence, five peaks exceed 3000 metres (9843 feet), 41 peaks exceed 2000 metres (6562 feet), and all 50 peaks equal or exceed 1866 metres (6122 feet) of topographic prominence. All of these peaks are
ultra-prominent summits.
Of these 50 peaks, 34 are located in British Columbia, nine in Yukon, six in Nunavut, and three in Alberta. Three of these peaks lie on the international border between Yukon and Alaska, one lies on the international border between British Columbia and Alaska, two lie on the border between British Columbia and Alberta, and two lie on the border between British Columbia and Yukon.
The 50 most topographically prominent summits of Canada
Of the 50 most isolated major summits of Canada, 12 peaks exceed 500 kilometres (310.7 miles) of topographic isolation, 31 peaks exceed 200 kilometres (124.3 miles), and all 50 peaks exceed 100 kilometres (62.14 miles) of topographic isolation.
Of these 50 peaks, 17 are located in British Columbia, 13 in Nunavut, seven in Yukon, four in Newfoundland and Labrador, four in Quebec, three in the Northwest Territories, two in Alberta, and one each in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Two of these peaks lie on the international border between British Columbia and Alaska, and two lie on the border between British Columbia and Alberta.

abcMount Robson is the easternmost summit of its elevation in
Canada and the northernmost and westernmost summit of its elevation in the
Rocky Mountains.
^This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least 100 metres (328.1 feet) of
topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least 500 metres (1640 feet) of topographic prominence. All summits in this article have at least 500 metres of topographic prominence. An
ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 metres (4921 feet) of topographic prominence.
