Mount Cook

Mount Cook is a 2,676-metre peak in the Garibaldi Ranges of southwestern British Columbia, rising above the north shore of Wedgemount Lake in Garibaldi Provincial Park. Its landscape is shaped by surrounding ice and water, with the Armchair Glacier between it and Mount Weart, the Weart Glacier on its northern slope, and runoff draining toward Wedgemount Lake and the Green River. Formerly known as Miniweart and North Wedge, it received its present name after a June 1977 submission by Alpine Club of Canada mountaineers Neal Carter and Karl Ricker, and the Geographical Names Board of Canada officially adopted it on March 9, 1979.
