Elevation

[edit]

Based on the elevation provided by the available Digital elevation models, SRTM (5931m[2]), SRTM2 (5935m[3]), ASTER (5900m[4]), SRTM filled with ASTER (5935m[5]), TanDEM-X(5956m[6]), Ameghino is about 5950 meters above sea level.[7][8]

The height of the nearest key col is 5365 meters,[9] so its prominence is 585 meters. Ameghino is listed as mountain, based on the Dominance system [10] and its dominance is 9.83%. Its parent peak is Aconcagua and the Topographic isolation is 4.4 kilometers.[11] This information was obtained during a research by Suzanne Imber in 2014.[12]
