Peaks

A peak is a named summit or locally highest point on a mountain, ridge, hill, massif, or other elevated landform. Its identity may be defined by elevation, prominence, topographic form, established naming, or its position within a larger mountain system. A peak is the summit feature itself, not automatically the entire mountain or range that contains it.
