Mount Sylvester

Mount Sylvester stands in central Newfoundland within the Bay du Nord Wilderness Reserve in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. A large rock formation dating to the glacial period, it is geographically an inselberg, a rock tower shaped by chemical weathering and later modified by glaciation. The mountain’s name is associated with Sylvester Joe, a Mi'kmaq hunter and explorer from Bay d'Espoir who died in 1839. He is remembered for guiding William Cormack on his journey across Newfoundland, during which Cormack became the first European Canadian known to cross the island.
