List of mountain peaks of Greenland

This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks of the nation of Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat). Kalaallit Nunaat includes the Island of Greenland and surrounding islands.

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. The first table below ranks the 40 highest major summits of Greenland by elevation.
  2. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings. The second table below ranks the 40 most prominent summits of Greenland.
  3. 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 40 most isolated major summits of Greenland.

Highest major summits

Of the highest major summits of Greenland, four peaks exceed elevation and 24 peaks equal or exceed elevation. 29, or about three-quarters, of these peaks are on Greenland's main island, while 11 peaks are on smaller islands off the main island's coast.

Most prominent summits

Of the most prominent summits of Greenland, only Gunnbjørn Fjeld exceeds of topographic prominence. Six peaks exceed and 38 peaks are ultra-prominent summits with at least of topographic prominence.

Most isolated major summits

Of the most isolated major summits of Greenland, only Gunnbjørn Fjeld exceeds of topographic isolation. Four peaks exceed of topographic isolation, 13 peaks exceed , and 21 peaks exceed of topographic isolation.
