List of mountains by dominance

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of mountains by dominance includes all mountains with a dominance of more than 1000 km on earth . All heights of the mountains are given in meters above sea ​​level .

In geography, dominance is understood to be the radius of the area over which a summit, mountain or other geomorphological landform dominates. Thus, the dominance is effectively the distance from a mountain top to the nearest higher point.

The notch height of a summit is its height above the lowest closed contour line that surrounds it and at the same time does not include a higher peak.

Mountains after dominance

Two peaks in East Antarctica were not included in the list , the dominance of which is probably more than 1000 km, but for which the data situation is so far too scarce and imprecise. The decision to add ice domes like the Dome Argus to the list is debatable. If they were not included, other Antarctic mountains would appear in the list.

The Ulun , a mountain in the Badschal Mountains in eastern Russia, is also unclear . It is entered in some atlases at an altitude of 2640 m. If this value is correct, the mountain reaches a dominance of 1070 km to the next higher Paektusan . In more recent sources, however, the Gora Korol is recorded as the highest peak of the mountain with a height of 2263 m.

  3. The dominance was determined using Google Maps.
  4. The dominance of Wake and other atolls in the Pacific is not assured. Due to the islands' low height of just a few meters, small elevations can have huge dominance. So it cannot be ruled out that there are higher points within a radius of 1084 km.
