Mount Jetté

Mount Jetté, also called Boundary Peak 177, rises in the Saint Elias Mountains on the Canada-United States border in the Southern Icefield Ranges near the tri-point of Alaska, British Columbia, and Yukon. Its summit stands close to British Columbia’s westernmost point. The mountain was named in 1908 for Sir Louis-Amable Jetté, a member of the 1903 Canadian Boundary Tribunal that helped settle the Alaska Boundary Dispute and Lieutenant Governor of Quebec from 1898 to 1908. Its alternate name reflects its role in the numbered chain of peaks used to define the Alaska–British Columbia and Yukon boundary.
