Dry prominence, on the other hand, ignores water, snow, and ice features and assumes that the surface of the earth is defined by the solid bottom of those features. The dry prominence of a summit is equal to its wet prominence unless the summit is the highest point of a landmass or island, or its key col is covered by snow or ice.
[1] The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings. [2] [1] The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation. [3] Mount Logan exceeds 5000 metres (16,404
