World top peak prominence
Chart showing the relationship between the 100 peaks with highest prominence in the world. (You can hover over a peak in the SVG version to see its parent mountain, and click to visit its article.)

This article lists the world's most impressive mountain peaks. But it's not just about how tall they are! It's about how much they stand out from the land around them. This special way of measuring is called topographic prominence.

Understanding Mountain Prominence

When we talk about mountains, we usually think about their height above sea level. But there's another cool way to measure them: their prominence.

What is Prominence?

Imagine you're at the very top of a mountain. Its prominence is how far you would have to go down to reach the lowest point that connects it to any higher mountain. If there's no higher mountain, then you go all the way down to sea level!

What is a Col?

The lowest point on a path between two mountain peaks is called a col (or a mountain pass). Think of it like a saddle between two bumps. This col is super important for figuring out a mountain's prominence.

What is a Parent Mountain?

Every mountain peak has a "parent" mountain. This is the higher mountain that your peak is connected to through its lowest col. It's like the bigger mountain that "overshadows" it. For example, Mount Logan in Canada has Denali as its parent because Denali is the highest peak connected to Logan through its lowest col.

Some mountains, like Mount Everest or Aconcagua, don't have a parent mountain. This is because they are the highest points on their entire landmass or island. Their prominence is the same as their height!

The World's Most Prominent Peaks

This table shows the 125 mountain summits on Earth that stand out the most. These are the peaks with the highest topographic prominence. Did you know that China has the most peaks on this list, with 16? Indonesia is next with 13, and the United States has 12.

In the table, the prominence parent is marked "1", and the encirclement parent "2". Where a single parent is listed, the different definitions agree.

More Notable Peaks

This list isn't complete, but it includes other famous mountains. Peaks that are the highest point on an island (meaning their prominence is the same as their height) are usually found on the List of islands by highest point. That's why most of them aren't listed here.

Any mountain with a prominence of more than 1,500 meters is called an Ultra-prominent peak (or just an Ultra). You can find a full list of all 1,524 Ultra peaks at the lists of Ultras.
