Mount Ratz

Mount Ratz stands in northwestern British Columbia near the Stikine River and close to the British Columbia–Alaska border. It is the highest peak in the Stikine Icecap and the highest point of the Boundary Ranges, part of the Coast Mountains. The mountain is especially notable for its great prominence, rising 2,430 meters above its key col at Hyland Ranch Pass, which places it among Canada’s Ultra peaks. It was named for William Francis Ratz, a Dominion Land Surveyor and engineer who worked on the Alaska boundary survey from 1905 and completed topographical work between the Whiting and Stikine rivers before his death in Ottawa in 1909 at age 25.
