Elevation

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]

gollark: You fix them.
gollark: There's a spec somewhere, it could actually be implemented.
gollark: They call it "pseudocode" but it's really a bizarre BASIC language with a syntax based type system somehow.
gollark: The computer science exam board here uses BASIC to explain algorithms and stuff on exams, and requires you to write in it a bit.
