List of the major 4000-meter summits of Alaska
The following sortable table comprises the 23 mountain peaks of the U.S. State of Alaska with at least of topographic elevation and at least of topographic prominence.
Topographic elevation is the vertical distance above the reference geoid, a mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface. The topographic prominence of a summit is the elevation difference between that summit and the highest or key col to a higher summit. The topographic isolation of a summit is the minimum great-circle distance to a point of equal elevation.
This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least of topographic prominence. There are 65 ultra-prominent summits in Alaska.
If an elevation or prominence is calculated as a range of values, the arithmetic mean is shown.Major 4000-meter summits
