Though not exceptional in terms of absolute elevation, Lituya Mountain does possess great vertical relief over local terrain.
2.
Absolute elevations of the Allegheny Highlands reach nearly, with the highest elevations in the southern part of the range.
3.
Despite its modest absolute elevation, it is notable for the large, steep drops from both of its summits to the surrounding terrain.
4.
While not of particularly high absolute elevation, even for the North Cascades, it is notable for its large, steep local relief.
5.
Like many North Cascade peaks, Colonial Peak is more notable for its large, steep rise above local terrain than for its absolute elevation.
6.
While not of great absolute elevation among Chinese peaks, it is well-separated from higher terrain, and hence has a high topographic prominence.
7.
The high vertical relief in the Revelations makes the range a very dramatic place and also creates challenging climbing conditions, despite the low absolute elevation of the peaks.
8.
The thermometer never approaches the minimum record of Puetra ( in the same latitude and at half the absolute elevation ), according to the observations of native surveyors.
9.
While overshadowed in absolute elevation by Denali, Huntington is a steeper peak : in almost every direction, faces drop over in about a mile ( 1.6 km ).
10.
Despite its low absolute elevation ( compared to other major peaks in North America ), it is a particularly large and steep peak in terms of its quick rise over local terrain.
