FOOTNOTES

We strive to have the most accurate summit elevations in every instance.  Unfortunately, the authors have not had access to large-scale topographic mapping of Turkey.  We invite your comments and/or corrections if you have access to the most recent topographic surveys (at 1:25,000 or 1:50,000) or other elevation data.  Most of the mountains elevations above were derived from commercial publications and/or JOG 1:250,000 maps, which are somewhat dated.  Where we were unable to access these sources, elevations elevations were estimated from SRTM data, then taken from Soviet 1:200,000 mapping where the latter was found to be compatible with SRTM.

[1]  The published elevation of 5137m is most compatible with SRTM data.  Another published elevation of 5165m is probably too high.
[2]  An alternate elevation of 4168m is sometimes given.
[3]  The highest point of the Demirkazik range is called Kizilkaya. For more information, see Rob Woodall's trip report.
