Topographic Architecture of Mount Waddington

Mount Waddington is the highest peak in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, rising to 4,019 metres amid the largest temperate icefield system in the world outside polar regions. Celebrated as Mystery Mountain during early exploration, this sheer granite monolith is perpetually guarded by Pacific maritime tempests, immense tidal glaciers, and vertical rock towers.

Geographical & Glacial Context: Located approximately 290 kilometres northwest of Vancouver at the head of Knight Inlet, Mount Waddington anchors the Waddington Range. Surrounded by colossal glaciers including the Tiedemann, Scimitar, and Franklin glaciers, its dual summits comprise the northwest snow crest and the terrifying vertical granite fang of the main southern tower.
