Nature
Mount Macdonald, in Yukon, Canada, rises to 2,760 metres (9,060 feet) and is the highest peak in the Northwest Mackenzie Mountains, a very remote part of the territory. It stands out strongly in the landscape, not only as the highest mountain in its local range but also as a notably isolated summit. For 187 kilometres (116 miles), no taller peak appears, giving Mount Macdonald an exceptional prominence that makes it especially significant within this remote northern region.
