Mountains by height
< 1000  →  1000+  →  2000+  →  3000+  →  4000+  →  5000+  →  6000+  →  7000+  →  8000+

Whilst there is no universally accepted definition of a mountain and hence the lower limit for this category, the following guidelines are offered in order to provide some consistency whilst respecting differing views around the English speaking world:

  • Europe: 600 metres (this is the official definition in the UK and Ireland, equivalent approximately to 2,000 feet).
  • North and South America: 1,000 feet (the old official definition of the USGS, albeit now defunct and not superseded)
  • Elsewhere: follow local practice for English-speaking countries or minimum 600 metres elsewhere

Please discuss any additions or changes to the above on the talk page.
