Mount Richardson

Mount Richardson is a 1,180-metre peak in Gaspésie National Park in eastern Quebec, in the McGerrigle chain alongside mountains such as Xalibu and Jacques-Cartier. Its name honors geologist James Richardson, who explored the Gaspé Peninsula in 1858 for the Geological Survey of Canada, expanded the survey’s mineral collections, and helped introduce photography to geological fieldwork. The mountain’s name appeared on a geological map in 1925. Known for its cone-shaped summit and alpine tundra, it offers an open 360-degree view and remains part of the protected high mountain landscape of the park.
