Image of the Month — Mt. Logan, Canada’s Highest Peak

Posted by on December 1, 2023 No comments

This is Canada’s high­est peak [5,959 m (19,551 ft)] sur­round­ed by a vast area of moun­tains and glac­i­ers in Klu­ane Nation­al Park, Yukon. Unknown until 1890, when it was visu­al­ly iden­ti­fied from the peak of Mt. St. Elias, it was first climbed in 1925 by the Alpine Club of Cana­da. The trek to the moun­tain and the ascent took 65 days. [see Sep­tem­ber 2020 Image of the Month for anoth­er view of the mountain]
