Nature
Remote Mountain is a 3,038-metre summit in British Columbia in the northwest corner of the Waddington Range, standing in an especially isolated part of the Coast Mountains. About 298 kilometers northwest of Vancouver and 20 kilometers northwest of Mount Waddington, it rises sharply above the Klinaklini River and the Fan Glacier, with more than 2,600 meters of relief over 8 kilometers and a 700-meter north-face rock wall. Its slopes drain into the Klinaklini, and surrounding glaciers are sustained by the region’s marine west coast climate, heavy Pacific precipitation, winter snowfall, and severe cold. Don Munday named it, and the name was recorded in 1933 and officially adopted in 1950.
