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.
