There are a number of places in the world with no mountains, though the exact definition of ""what makes a mountain"" drives the exact list. Using the 1000 ft from base standard:
- In Canada there are no true mountains in the Provinces of Saskatchewan or Prince Edward Island.
- In the United States these states lack any land over 1000 ft : Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Rhode Island and the District of Columbia. To this list you could add states that have no local elevation difference of more than 1,000 ft (called a prominence - a rise above the surrounding terrain): Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Wisconsin. (17 total states without mountains)
- The highest elevation in Bermuda is 43m, which is definitely not a mountain!
- The highest point of the Netherlands is only 321m, and that spot is actually the three-country point with Belgium and Germany. As one Dutch person said "So, not only is it barely a hill, we managed to share the thing with two other countries!"
- Highest point in The Gambia is Red Rock (53 m or 175 ft), which is not very much of a hike.
- Kuwait is pretty flat, with the highest point in its desert terrain being Mutla Ridge (306 m or 1,004 ft)
- Guinea-Bissau is a fairly large country but its highest point is an unnamed location on only 300 m or 984 ft above sea level.
- Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia lack mountains, with the hills reaching just over 1000 ft at best.
- An extreme example is The Maldives where the best view is found at 2.4 m or 7.9 ft above sea level. Ashmore and Cartier Islands, Spratly Islands, Tuvalu, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Tokelau, and the Marshall Islands all top out at or under 10 m high for natural land height.
This sortable list shows elevation extremes by country.
