1. ^This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least {{convert|100|m|1|abbr=off|comma=5|sp=us}} of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least {{convert|500|m|0|abbr=off|comma=5|sp=us}} of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least {{convert|1500|m|0|abbr=off|comma=5|sp=us}} of topographic prominence.
2. ^1 If the elevation or prominence of a summit is calculated as a range of values, the arithmetic mean is shown.
3. ^The topographic prominence of a summit is the topographic elevation difference between the summit and its highest or key col to a higher summit. The summit may be near its key col or quite far away. The key col for Denali in Alaska is the Isthmus of Rivas in Nicaragua, {{convert|7642|km|0|abbr=off|comma=5|sp=us}} away.
4. ^The topographic isolation of a summit is the great-circle distance to its nearest point of equal elevation.
