List of mountain peaks of Greenland

This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaksThis article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least 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 of topographic prominence. of the nation of Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat). Kalaallit Nunaat includes the Island of Greenland and surrounding islands.

The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways: The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level.If the elevation or prominence of a summit is calculated as a range of values, the arithmetic mean is shown. The first table below ranks the 40 highest major summits of Greenland by elevation. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.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, away. The second table below ranks the 40 most prominent summits of Greenland. The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.The topographic isolation of a summit is the great-circle distance to its nearest point of equal elevation. The third table below ranks the 40 most isolated major summits of Greenland.

__TOC__

Highest major summits

Of the highest major summits of Greenland, four peaks exceed elevation and 24 peaks equal or exceed elevation. 29, or about three-quarters, of these peaks are on Greenland's main island, while 11 peaks are on smaller islands off the main island's coast.
