Mount Aberdeen

Mount Aberdeen is a 3,152-metre summit in Banff National Park's Lake Louise area, rising on the same massif as Haddo Peak with the Aberdeen Glacier between them and Mount Lefroy as its nearest higher neighbor. First climbed in 1894 by Samuel E.S. Allen, L.F. Frissel, and Walter D. Wilcox, it was named in 1897 by James J. McArthur for Lord Aberdeen, the 7th Governor General of Canada, after earlier being known as Hazel Peak. The name was officially adopted in 1952. Built of ancient sedimentary rock later thrust eastward during the Laramide orogeny, the mountain stands in a cold alpine and subarctic environment.
