of mountain peaks potentially attributable to differential removal of material from below peaks in the Olympic Mountains, Washington, was constrained by fitting a smoothed surface to the highest elevation points on a 30 m grid digital elevation model
of the range. It therefore appears that the location of the highest peak in the Olympics is controlled by the deep valleys excavated in the centre of the range.
