These sources each contain differing information, and
contradict each other in various ways, including the
names, heights and exact locations of some peaks. I
have done my best to combine and reconcile those
differences, to make it make sense, in many hours of
focused consideration of multiple sources.
In particular, some peaks are named "-bong" [peak] on
some maps and "-san" [mountain] on others; there is also
the suffix "-dae" [platform, with a Buddhist meaning] used
for a few peaks. There doesn't seem to be any consistent
rule for which of those suffixes gets used (neither altitude
nor distance from other peaks seems to have much to do
with it), and there seems to be no consistent system for
grouping peaks together as one overall "-san"; these
seems to be only matters of common usage. When in
doubt, I have used "-san".
The mountains located in what is now North Korea pose
particular problems, as their names, precise locations and
altitudes differ on the various sources available -- we just
don't yet have very exact and reliable information.
The Republic of Korea's new Romanization system has
been used throughout, even for the North Korean
mountains, in order to match with contemporary South
Korean maps and websites, and in the interest of
consistent accuracy. I would welcome any corrections or
suggestions for improvement for these listings.
