List of mountain peaks of Hawaii

The Hawaiian Islands has 13 major mountain peaks with at least of topographic prominence.

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 13 major summits of Hawaii by topographic 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 13 major summits of Hawaii by topographic prominence.
  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 13 major summits of Hawaii by topographic isolation.

Highest major summits

Of the 13 major summits of Hawaii, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa exceed elevation, Haleakalā exceeds , Hualalai exceeds , and 11 peaks exceed elevation.

Four of these peaks rise on the island of Hawaii, two on Maui, two on Kauai, two on Molokai, two on Oahu, and one on Lānai.

Of the 13 major summits of Hawaii, Mauna Kea exceeds of topographic prominence, Haleakalā exceeds , Mauna Loa exceeds , six peaks are ultra-prominent summits with more than, and eight peaks exceed of topographic prominence.

Of the 13 major summits of Hawaii, Mauna Kea has of topographic isolation and four peaks exceed of topographic isolation.
