There is a reason it's called a saddle. It's because it's shaped like one. It is a low point between two high points but it is also a high point between the lower area encompassing the high points. Mathematics uses a similar definition, and the diagram on the WIkipedia page may be helpful in visualising what is meant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddle_point For the technical definition of landform saddles, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddle_(landform) -- Paul
