List of Iranian four-thousanders

List of Iranian four-thousanders

Add article description

This list contains all of the summits and subsidiary tops of 4,000 metres (13,123 ft) above sea level or higher in Iran.

Since there is no precise or formal definition of a mountain summit, the number of 4000-metre summits or four-thousanders is arbitrary. Topographic prominence is an important factor in deciding the official nomination of a summit.[1] The list here is based not only on prominence but also on other criteria, such as morphology (general appearance) and mountaineering interest. A minimum prominence criterion of 500 metres would considerably reduce the number of four-thousanders.

List

The table shows the four-thousanders in Iran.[2][3] There are several summits in the list with multiple peaks, where only the highest is listed.

Clicking the symbol at the head of the column sorts the table by that column's data.
