Other notable island mountains

Many of the following islands are selected for inclusion as the main island or having the highest peak in their island nation.
The list includes some dependent or semi-dependent island overseas territories with their own ISO 3166-1 country code. Note that the dependencies of Guernsey (Alderney, Sark, Herm) and St. Helena (Tristan da Cunha, Ascension Island) are listed as separate units.
Nevis (Saint Kitts-Nevis) is also listed separately. Note also that the Netherlands Antilles (Curaçao, Bonaire, Saint Martin, Saint Eustatius, Saba) have been split up in separate units. Saint-Barthélemy (a dependency of Guadeloupe) is also listed separately.
The list also includes other notable islands, for example some islands that are the largest island mountain of its country or autonomous region.
