List of the most isolated major summits of Canada


The following sortable table comprises the 150 most topographically isolated mountain peaks of Canada 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.
  2. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.
  3. The topographic isolation of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.
Twelve major summits of Canada exceed of topographic isolation, 31 exceed, 50 exceed, and 92 major summits exceed of topographic isolation.
