- Source: List of mountain peaks of the Caribbean
This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks of the islands of the Caribbean Sea.
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 20 highest major summits of the Caribbean 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 20 most prominent summits of the Caribbean.
The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation. The third table below ranks the 20 most isolated major summits of the Caribbean.
Highest major summits
Of the 20 highest major summits of the Caribbean, only Pico Duarte exceeds 3000 meters (9843 feet) elevation, six peaks exceed 2000 meters (6562 feet), and 15 peaks exceed 1000 meters (3281 feet) elevation.
Of these 20 peaks, three are located in the Dominican Republic, three in Cuba, two in Haiti, two in Saint Kitts and Nevis, one each in Jamaica, Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, Puerto Rico, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, Montserrat, and Venezuela.
Most prominent summits
Of the 20 most prominent summits of the Caribbean, only Pico Duarte exceeds 3000 meters (9843 feet) of topographic prominence. Four peaks exceed 2000 meters (6562 feet), seven peaks are ultra-prominent summits with at least 1500 meters (4921 feet), and 13 peaks exceed 1000 meters (3281 feet) of topographic prominence.
Of these 20 peaks, three are located in the Dominican Republic, two in Haiti, two in Saint Kitts and Nevis, and one each in Jamaica, Cuba, Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, Puerto Rico, Saint Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, Montserrat, Venezuela, Saba, and Grenada.
Most isolated major summits
Of the 20 most isolated major summits of the Caribbean, Pico Duarte and La Grande Soufrière exceed 500 kilometers (310.7 miles) of topographic isolation, seven peaks exceed 200 kilometers (124.3 miles), and 14 peaks exceed 100 kilometers (62.14 miles) of topographic isolation.
Of these 20 peaks, three are located in Cuba, two in the Dominican Republic, two in Haiti, two in Trinidad and Tobago, and one each in Guadeloupe, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Granada, the British Virgin Islands, Martinique, Dominica, Montserrat, and Saint Lucia.
