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.
