List of mountain peaks of Greenland
Wikimedia list article
This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks of the nation of Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat). Kalaallit Nunaat includes the Island of Greenland and surrounding islands.
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 first table below ranks the 40 highest major summits of Greenland by elevation.
The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings. The second table below ranks the 40 most prominent summits of Greenland.
The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation. The third table below ranks the 40 most isolated major summits of Greenland.
Highest major summits
Of the highest major summits of Greenland, four peaks exceed 3000 meters (9843 feet) elevation and 24 peaks equal or exceed 2000 meters (6562 feet) elevation. 29, or about three-quarters, of these peaks are on Greenland's main island, while 11 peaks are on smaller islands off the main island's coast.

Why this record matters
The phrase “wikimedia list article” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17090545. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2000.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
