List of mountain peaks of Alaska
This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks of the U.S. State of Alaska.
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 [|first table] below ranks the 100 highest major summits of Alaska by elevation.
- The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings. The [|second table] below ranks the 100 most prominent summits of Alaska.
- The topographic isolation of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation. The [|third table] below ranks the 50 most isolated major summits of Alaska.
Highest major summits
Of the 100 highest major summits of Alaska, only Denali exceeds elevation, four peaks exceed, 23 peaks exceed, 61 peaks exceed, and 92 peaks exceed elevation. Five of these peaks lie on the international border with Yukon and five lie on the international border with British Columbia. All ten of the highest major summits of the United States are in Alaska.
Most prominent summits
Of the 100 most prominent summits of Alaska, only Denali exceeds of topographic prominence, six peaks exceed, 26 peaks exceed, and 65 peaks are ultra-prominent summits with at least of topographic prominence. Four of these peaks lie on the international border with British Columbia and four lie on the international border with Yukon.
Most isolated major summits
Of the 50 most isolated major summits of Alaska, only Denali exceeds of topographic isolation, four peaks exceed, 16 peaks exceed, and 38 peaks exceed of topographic isolation. Two of these peaks lie on the international border with British Columbia.
