The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.[2][1] The second table below ranks the 13 major summits of Hawaiʻi by topographic prominence.
The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.[3] The third table below ranks the 13 major summits of Hawaiʻi by topographic isolation.
Of the 13 major summits of Hawaiʻi, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa exceed 4000 meters (13,123 feet) elevation, Haleakalā exceeds 3000 meters (9843 feet), Hualalai exceeds 2000 meters (6562 feet), and 11 peaks exceed 1000 meters (3281 feet) elevation.
Four of these peaks rise on the island of Hawaiʻi, two on Maui, two on Kauaʻi, two on Molokaʻi, two on Oʻahu, and one on Lānaʻi.
The highest of the 13 summits of Hawaiʻi with at least 500 meters of topographic prominence
Of the 13 major summits of Hawaiʻi, Mauna Kea exceeds 4000 meters (13,123 feet) of topographic prominence, Haleakalā exceeds 3000 meters (9843 feet), Mauna Loa exceeds 2000 meters (6562 feet), six peaks are ultra-prominent summits with more than 1500 meters (4921 feet), and eight peaks exceed 1000 meters (3281 feet) of topographic prominence.
The 13 most topographically prominent summits of Hawaiʻi
Of the 13 major summits of Hawaiʻi, Mauna Kea has 3947 kilometers (2453 miles) of topographic isolation and four peaks exceed 100 kilometers (62.14 miles) of topographic isolation.
The most topographically isolated of the 13 summits of Hawaiʻi with at least 500 meters of topographic prominence
^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.
^The shield volcanoMauna Loa is the second most voluminous mountain on Earth with an estimated volume of 74,000 cubic kilometres (18,000 cu mi), or enough material to fill the Grand Canyon more than 18 times
Mauna Kea on the Island of Hawaiʻi is the tallest mountain on Earth as measured from base to summit.
Mauna Loa on the Island of Hawaiʻi is the second most voluminous mountain on Earth.
Haleakalā is the highest summit of the Island of Maui.
Kaʻala is the highest summit of the Island of Oahu.
