This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks[1] of the islands of the Caribbean Sea.
The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:
The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level.[2] The first table below ranks the 20 highest major summits of the Caribbean by elevation.
The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.[3][2] The second table below ranks the 20 most prominent summits of the Caribbean.
The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.[4] The third table below ranks the 20 most isolated major summits of the Caribbean.
^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. All summits in this article have at least 500 meters of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence.
^ abIf the elevation or prominence of a summit is calculated as a range of values, the arithmetic mean is shown.
^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.
^The topographic isolation of a summit is the great-circle distance to its nearest point of equal elevation.
