The peaks are classified by elevation: 2000m, 2100m, 2200m, 2300m and above 2400m. Most(74%) of the 282 summits compiled have not been assigned an official name by the United States Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and as such are delineated as "Un-Named" (UNP in the KML file).The High Peaks/Summits inventory of the Juneau Icefield area summarizes the First Ascent climbs for major peaks. In addition, select minor peaks are included to report those that are contained within the GNIS database and to permit assigning a location marker(coordinate) for Nunatak identification and ridge delineation for the USGS Hydrologic Unit Code boundaries for cross referencing these areal shapes to a single coordinate in the Wikipedia articles: Geospatial Summary of the Glaciers of the Juneau IcefieldThe Mountaineering definition of a peak in the United States has an informal threshold of 2,000 ft (610 m) of prominence that signifies that a peak has major stature, therefore some peaks reported in this article may not satisfy the requirements for determining a First Ascent. The Clean Prominence, Optimistic Prominence and Isolation should be verified for a First Ascent attempt.The elevation of the peaks and summits of the Juneau Icefield was determined by referencing multiple sources including: GNIS database BCGN Database USGS Topographic Maps USFS Topographic Maps NRC Topographic Maps Peak Bagger with cross check to USGS and USFS Selected sources such as scientific papers, etc.The GNIS database consistently reports the peak elevation lower than the referenced USGS and/or USFS topographic maps. The topographic maps also report lower elevations than selected GPS measurements conducted by personnel of the Juneau Icefield Research Program, but not to the degree of the GNIS Database.In this article the topographic map values were used to report elevation above MSL, unless a more accurate GPS measurement was available.Readers Note:The optimum method to spacial display the peak(s) is with the Google Earth Pro software which was recently(1 March 2015) made a free product. The KML coordinates of the peaks can be downloaded directly (see show link below the picture above) and viewed by orthographic projection."@en }
