Mount Caubvick

Mount Caubvick, known in Quebec as Mont D'Iberville, rises 1,646 metres in the Torngat Mountains on the Labrador-Quebec border and is the highest point in Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as mainland Canada east of the Rockies. Although it marks both provinces' high point, the summit lies entirely within Labrador. Its steep ridges, cirques, glaciers, and abrupt rise from near sea level give it an unusually severe alpine character for eastern Canada. Formally named in Labrador in 1981 after an Inuit traveler, it also holds an important place in Canadian climbing history, though its isolation has made access difficult and has also led to tragedy.
