Mount Albert

Mount Albert, also called Mont Albert, rises 1,151 metres in the Chic-Choc range of the Appalachians in Gaspésie National Park on Quebec’s Gaspé Peninsula. Among the highest peaks in southern Quebec, it is noted both as a major hiking destination and for its unusual summit, a broad plateau called La Table à Moïse with high points at Albert North and Albert South. Named for Prince Albert, it was first documented climbed by geologist Alexander Murray on August 26, 1845. Its serpentine tableland, formed from ancient oceanic crust uplifted during the creation of the Appalachians, supports a rare alpine tundra plant community above the tree line.
