List of extreme summits of North America
# List of extreme summits of North America

This article comprises four sortable tables of mountain summits of greater North America that are the higher than any other point north or south of their latitude or east or west their longitude in North America.

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

## Northernmost high summits

The following summits range from Greenland and Ellesmere Island to Alaska.
