Mount Arthur

Mount Arthur is a mountain on Ellesmere Island in Nunavut, Canada, within Quttinirpaaq National Park in the far northern Canadian Arctic. It lies in one of the country’s most remote protected landscapes and was first mapped by the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition. Named for Chester A. Arthur, the twenty-first president of the United States, the mountain reflects the period of nineteenth-century polar exploration that connected Arctic geography with prominent public figures. Today it remains one of the named features in the interior of Ellesmere Island within Quttinirpaaq National Park.
