Mount Eliza

Mount Eliza is a prominent peak in the Fairweather Range of northwestern British Columbia, within Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Park near Glacier Bay and the Canada-U.S. border. The park’s fourth-highest mountain, it is distinguished by steep relief, with its west side rising sharply over a short distance. Its coastal tundra climate brings cold, snowy winters, cool summers, and severe wind chill as moisture from the Gulf of Alaska is lifted by the range, producing heavy rain and snow. These conditions help sustain nearby glaciers, and the mountain’s runoff drains toward Glacier Bay. Its location and heavily glaciated surroundings make it an important geographic and protected natural landmark.
