Canada's Highest Peak
The tallest mountain in Canada is Mount Logan, standing at 5,959 metres. It is found in the southwestern corner of the Yukon, Canada's westernmost territory, within Kluane National Park and Reserve. Mount Logan is not only the highest point in Canada but also the second-highest peak in all of North America, surpassed only by Denali in Alaska.
A Mountain of Enormous Size
What makes Mount Logan especially remarkable is not just its height but its sheer bulk. It is believed to have the largest base circumference of any non-volcanic mountain on Earth. Rather than a single sharp peak, it has a massive plateau with eleven separate summits rising above 5,000 metres. It is, quite simply, one of the most massive mountain blocks anywhere in the world.
Named After a Geologist
The mountain takes its name from Sir William Edmond Logan, a Canadian geologist who founded the Geological Survey of Canada. Its exact height was not pinned down until modern times. A survey in 1992 used satellite measurements to establish the figure of 5,959 metres still used today. Interestingly, the mountain is slowly growing taller, pushed upward by the movement of the Earths crust.
