It is the tallest mountain in the world from base-to-peak on land, measuring 18,000 ft (5,500 m), [8] with a topographic prominence of 20,194 feet (6,155 m) [3] and a topographic isolation (the distance to the nearest peak of equal or greater height) of 4,621.1 miles (7,436.9 km), [3] Denali is the third most prominent and third-most isolated ...
It is situated 17 miles (27 km) northeast of Denali, the highest summit in North America. [3] Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains to the McKinley River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 3,160 feet (960 meters) above the Brooks Glacier in 0.75 mile (1.2 km).
The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation. [4] Denali is one of only three summits on Earth with more than 6,000 meters (20,000 feet) of topographic prominence.
Of the 100 most prominent summits of Alaska, only Denali exceeds 4000 meters (13,123 feet) of topographic prominence, six peaks exceed 3000 meters (9843 feet), 26 peaks exceed 2000 meters (6562 feet), and 65 peaks are ultra-prominent summits with at least 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence.
