Mount Northover

Mount Northover stands on the Alberta-British Columbia border along the Continental Divide in the Canadian Rockies, with Mount Lyautey as its nearest higher peak to the north-northeast. It was named in 1917 for Lieutenant A.W. Northover, M.C., a Boer War veteran regarded as one of western Canada’s first war heroes. After enlisting at Regina in the North-West Battalion, he later served with the 28th Battalion, C.E.F., and received the Military Cross for actions on October 8, 1915. He returned to Canada in 1916 on a speaking tour. The mountain lies in a subarctic climate with severe alpine winters and mild summers.
