The summit of Gunnbjørn Fjeld is the highest point on the Island of Greenland, Kalaallit Nunaat, the Kingdom of Denmark, and the entire Arctic.

The following sortable table comprises the 38 ultra-prominent summits of the nation of Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat). Each of these peaks has at least 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence.[1]

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]
  2. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.[3][2]
  3. The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.[4]

Gunnbjørn Fjeld exceeds 3000 meters (9843 feet) of topographic prominence. Six peaks of Greenland exceed 2000 meters (6562 feet), and the following 38 peaks are ultra-prominent summits with at least 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence.

  1. ↑ This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least 100 meters (328.1 feet) of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least 500 meters (1640 feet) of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence.
  2. ↑ 2.0 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, 7642 kilometers (4749 miles) away.
