Mount Kinabalu (Malay: Gunung Kinabalu) is a prominent mountain
on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. It is located in the
East Malaysian state of Sabah and is protected as Kinabalu
National Park, a World Heritage Site. Kinabalu is the highest
peak in Borneo's Crocker Range and is the highest mountain in
the Malay Archipelago. Mount Kinabalu is also the 20th most
prominent mountain in the world by topographic prominence. In
1997, a re-survey using satellite technology established its
summit (known as Low's Peak) height at 4,095 metres (13,435 ft)
above sea level, which is some 6 metres (20 ft) less than the
previously thought and hitherto published figure of 4,101 metres
(13,455 ft). Mount Kinabalu includes the Kinabalu montane alpine
meadows ecoregion in the montane grasslands and shrublands
biome. The mountain and its surroundings are among the most
important biological sites in
