Mount Martha Black

Mount Martha Black is a 2,512-metre mountain in Yukon and the highest point in the Auriol Range of the Saint Elias Mountains. Within Kluane National Park near Haines Junction, this multi-summit massif is visible from the Alaska Highway in clear weather. It was named for Martha Black, the second woman elected to the House of Commons of Canada, connecting the prominent peak with a notable figure in Canadian political history when the name was officially adopted in 1980. The mountain stands in a subarctic climate of long, cold, snowy winters and mild summers, and its runoff and nearby glacial melt feed tributaries of the Alsek River.
