Azimuthbjerg (Greenlandic : Miialeqaaq) [2] is the highest mountain in Skjoldungen Island, SE Greenland. [3]
This multi-peaked mountain rises steeply from the shore of the northern end of the Southern Skjoldungen Fjord (Greenlandic : Iittuarmiit), at the NW corner of Skjoldungen Island [4] in the Sermersooq municipality. It is a 1,738-metre-high (5,702 ft) ultra-prominent peak. This mountain is marked as a 5,266-foot-high (1,605 m) peak in the Defense Mapping Agency Greenland Navigation charts. [5]
In topography, prominence measures the height of a mountain or hill's summit relative to the lowest contour line encircling it but containing no higher summit within it. It is a measure of the independence of a summit. A peak's key col is a unique point on this contour line and the parent peak is some higher mountain, selected according to various criteria.
An ultra-prominent peak, or Ultra for short, is a mountain summit with a topographic prominence of 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) or more; it is also called a P1500. The prominence of a peak is the minimum height of climb to the summit on any route from a higher peak, or from sea level if there is no higher peak. There are approximately 1,524 such peaks on Earth. Some well-known peaks, such as the Matterhorn and Eiger, are not Ultras because they are connected to higher mountains by high cols and therefore do not achieve enough topographic prominence.
