Kerbin 6000 Meter Peaks

After some searching, I realized there was no repository of Kerbin's highest peaks. Lots of people have summited the highest peak at 6764m, but I wanted to find them all.

Here is my list:

A listing of the ten 6000m peaks of Kerbin
Rank Height (m) Latitude (DMS) Longitude (DMS)  
1 6767 61 35 54 46 20 17  
2 6566 -74 23 43 -17 31 47  
3 6433 -14 26 44 71 57 24  
4 6432 -6 35 54 113 37 21  
5 6143 -13 49 48 71 17 37  
6 6142 -30 09 19 -13 27 20  
7 6119 46 04 45 139 32 01  
8 6067 -68 33 12 -27 13 12  
9 6041 -17 12 15 73 38 30  
10 6009 42 33 10 135 50 45  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please note that negative latitudes are in the southern hemisphere, negative longitudes are in the western hemisphere. I acquired the locations by pinpointing high points on a hyper-res map of kerbin, then flew to the location, landed near the summit, and placed a flag on the summit. For some reason the height of the peak varies slightly from load to load, so each value is +/- 3 meters, which means that 3 & 4 are a tie, as are 5 & 6.

Screenshots

If I have missed any, please put them in the comments below, complete with location information. Insofar as I am aware, this is all the 6000m peaks of Kerbin

Nice!  Maybe @Syntax could incorporate this into a Interplanetary Mountaineer contract?

Interesting idea! Although it would set a precedent for the rest of the celestial bodies that I'm not really prepared to follow-through with... unless I had a data-set like quietghost's I could use for all of them. I greatly admire the work that went into compiling that! Unfortunately, I'm not up to the task :confused:
