List of extreme summits of North America
This article comprises four sortable tables of mountain summits of greater North America that are the higher than any other point [|north] or [|south] of their latitude or [|east] or [|west] their longitude in North America.
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.
- The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.
- The topographic isolation of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.
