EspañolLIST OF PEAKS BY PROMINENCE
This is a list of mountains ordered by their topographic prominence.
There are different definitions of the parent of a peak. Where a single parent is listed, the different definitions agree; where two are given, the ''prominence parent'' is marked "1", and the ''island parent'' "²". For definitions of the terms ''prominence parent'' and ''island parent'', see topographic prominence.
Note: artificial saddle points, such as the Panama and Suez canals, are not taken into account. The prominences and parents of Denali and Kilimanjaro remain as they were before these canals were constructed, although not all researchers agree with this practice.
Of the 109 peaks listed in this section, China has the most, 14. Close behind it are Indonesia and the United States with 11 each.
The list of peaks that follow is not complete, but the peaks are all notable. The addition of more notable peaks is welcome. Note that island high points (whose prominence is equal to their elevation) can be found at the List of islands by highest point; hence most are not included below. Some well-known peaks listed here do not score highly by prominence. For an alternative measure to prominence, which focuses on local impressiveness instead, see spire measure.
