- Source: 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:
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 (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.
Mount Logan exceeds 5000 metres (16,404 feet) of topographic prominence. Five peaks of Canada exceed 3000 metres (9843 feet), 11 exceed 2500 metres (8202 feet), 41 exceed 2000 metres (6562 feet) and 143 ultra-prominent peaks exceed 1500 metres (4921 feet) of topographic prominence.
