Mountains under 1000 metres

Mountains by height
< 1000 → 1000+ → 2000+ → 3000+ → 4000+ → 5000+ → 6000+ → 7000+ → 8000+

Definitions — whilst there is no universally accepted definition of a mountain and hence the lower limit elevation for this category, the following guidelines are offered in order to provide some consistency whilst respecting differing views around the English speaking world:

Europe: 600 metres (2,000 feet)^* − (this is the official definition in the UK and Ireland, equivalent approximately to 2,000 feet).
North America and South America: 1,000 feet (300 metres)^* − (the old official definition of the USGS, albeit now defunct and not superseded)
Elsewhere: follow local practice for English-speaking countries, or minimum 600 metres elsewhere

Note: Please discuss any additions or changes to the above criteria on the talk page.
