List of the most prominent summits of Canada


The following sortable table comprises the 150 most topographically prominent mountain peaks of Canada.
The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:
  1. The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level.
  2. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.
  3. The topographic isolation of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.
Mount Logan exceeds of topographic prominence. Five peaks of Canada exceed, 11 exceed, 41 exceed and 143 ultra-prominent peaks exceed of topographic prominence.
