Mount Tiedemann

Mount Tiedemann, a three thousand eight hundred thirty-eight-metre peak in British Columbia's Pacific Ranges, rises in the Waddington Range near Mount Waddington between the Homathko and Klinaklini rivers. It was named for Herman Otto Tiedemann, a colonial government engineer and surveyor who helped design notable early Victoria buildings, surveyed the British Columbia and Alaska coast, and worked on Alfred Waddington's proposed route to the Cariboo goldfields. Tiedemann joined preliminary surveys for that road in 1862 before the project ended after the opening of the Chilcotin War in 1864. First climbed in 1939, the mountain stands in a harsh ice cap climate surrounded by major glaciers.
