four peaks
comparison of Mount Sharp (Aeolis Mons) to three Earth peaks

This is a list of all named mountains on Mars.

Naming[edit]

Most Martian mountains have a name including one of the following astrogeological terms:

Caveats[edit]

Listed are the elevations of the peaks (the vertical position relative to the areoid, which is the Martian vertical datum — the surface defined as zero elevation by average martian atmospheric pressure and planet radius), which is not the height above the surrounding terrain (topographic prominence). Listed mons elevation is the highest point (at 16 pixels/degree) within the feature. Listed patera elevation is the average elevation of the shallow dish-shaped depression (the actual 'patera') at the summit.

List[edit]

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.
